2011 Pinnacle Awards Winners

Dear Colleagues,

Here is one of the most essential components to all successful meetings. The 2011 Pinnacle Awards celebrate hospitality excellence by identifying the convention and visitor bureaus, hotels, and conference centers that set the standard for others to follow. Above all, what makes the 2011 Pinnacle Awards most significant is that they are selected by you, the loyal readers of Successful Meetings,based upon your own real-life, meeting experiences.

Finding the right partners to host your events and care for your attendees is, perhaps, the single most important decision you make whenever you decide to bring people together. You can plan and execute flawlessly, but choosing the wrong partner will always detract from your desired outcome. It’s like swimming upstream in a stiff current, zapping positive energy and diminishing the message you want people to carry home.

Conversely, when you choose the right partners, those who have demonstrated an unwavering commitment to excellence and an understanding of what success requires, you and your attendees are riding a wave that lands you right where you want to be. The positive effects carry forward and the intended message resonates well into the future.

And so we announce the 2011 Pinnacle Award winners. Thanks to all of our readers who voted and congratulations to all of the winners!

When planning your next meeting, I encourage you to start here...

Sincerely,
Tom Larranaga
