PCMA Statement on Call for Arizona Boycott

Recent action by the Arizona State legislature on immigration has raised a call for boycotting Arizona travel, meetings and conventions.

However, the Professional Convention Management Association (PCMA) supports continued meeting, convention and trade show travel to Arizona.

  • A meetings and travel boycott will harm an industry still recovering from recession and negate the positive and valuable results that are derived from meetings that are crucial to moving our nation forward.
  • Meetings...
    • Build trust and relationships
    • Allow for an effective exchange of ideas
    • Provide the human connection that powers business

The decision in Arizona has served to spotlight the need for federal action on immigration reform.
