Southwest CMG has been a zero-budget region since its inception, relying on vendor or members' organization sponsorship for funding our one day meetings.

The meeting sponsor arranges meeting rooms, catering for breakfast and coffee breaks, is allowed one vendor sales or organization presentation on our agenda.

All speakers other than the vendor sponsor must conform to the CMG International presentation policies.

Vendor literature display space is provided on a limited basis for any vendor wishing to display materials at each meeting.

Lunch is typically not included in these meetings as a cost containment measure.
