“There is no time like the present.” It seems odd to hear this, especially in the times we currently live. But that is our mantra as we forge ahead with this year’s US Sports Congress. “We’ve never set out to achieve attendance records,” explains Lou Mengsol, President of the US Sports Congress. “Our focus is being a resource for the industry, creating quality content, and providing an atmosphere where business gets done. This year is no exception. Our teams’ focus has centered around maintaining the integrity of the event while complying with Federal and State mandated health and safety regulations.” The US Sports Congress has always been and continues to be a very intimate event with balanced ratios of Destinations to Rights Holders. That is just one of the ways more business gets done. But this year, the concept takes on new meaning. The M Resort, serving as this year’s host hotel, is a good distance off the strip. It really is a bit of an anomaly for Las Vegas. The property has just shy of 400 guest rooms and isn’t the typical 3,000 room casino property you will find on the strip. Additionally, our event occupies 100% of the resort’s meeting space, meaning no other groups will be present. Having a mid-week meeting helps too. There will not be many leisure travelers to contend with creating the perfect “bubble” of safety for the Congress.
