Ever wonder what really goes on behind the scenes of a major meeting or convention? This week on PVD POV, we sit down with one of our own: Carley Foto from the Convention Services team at GoProvidence. Carley walks us through the magic of event planning, from pre-con visits and community outreach to why the bathrooms at Rhode Island T.F. Green International Airport deserve a standing ovation. Plus, we chat about the upcoming FlightSim Expo, a public event that's taking over the city this June. You'll never look at meetings or skydiving the same way again.
