In a November 25, 2016 memo, the Office of (U.S.) Federal Financial Management clarified the rules regarding, and broader outlook on, meetings and conferences. The memo can be accessed here. The memo contains generally good news for meeting venues by, among other actions, removing the 2009 financial restrictions/guidelines and relaxing restrictions on attendance.
But…for Canadian (and other international) venues, the possible “Buy American” focus of the incoming U.S. administration will be something to watch with interest.
