Convenience. Busy times call for smarter ways of doing business, especially in such a challenging economic climate. Everything you do must deliver a return on your investment. That's why Resorts & Great Hotels sponsors the Private Meetings Summit. It offers true "one-stop shopping": the opportunity to plan an entire year's worth of business with the finest 4- and 5-star properties across North America, all for the price of a plane ticket. Plus, our dynamic networking events allow you to trade tips and ideas with your fellow travel professionals, while making new contacts and strengthening existing relationships.

Our Summit team just returned from a site visit to New Orleans, where the 2010 Summit will be held March 28-31 at the newly remodeled Roosevelt New Orleans, part of the Waldorf-Astoria Collection. Both the venue and the city promise a productive -- and enjoyable -- time. Stay tuned for more details in the coming months, including a surprise announcement!
