Meeting Planning Professionals—EliteMeetings.com
Welcome to EliteMeetings.com, featuring only the finest meetings and incentive properties in North America. It is worth noting that our Website and Elite Meetings magazine, are "designed for meeting planners by meeting planners," as our goal is to provide you with useful information for each hotel or resort that has received approval from our advisory board.
Elite Meetings simplifies the process in several key ways, first and foremost through the Elite Meetings Web site, which offers access to a database of luxury hotels and resorts throughout North America. Each of the 700 properties on the site has been personally selected by the company’s Advisory Board, an elite body comprised of nine veteran hospitality executives and experienced meeting planners of major North American corporations who are intimately familiar with the process of booking business. Of the 3,000 initially submitted for review, only those properties meriting this distinguished group’s approval were chosen for the site and thus designated as “Elite Certified” properties.
In addition to linking professionals and properties via its Web site, Elite Meetings International also publishes an annual magazine, Elite Meetings, available in traditional print format, as well as a “green” digital e-zine format. The 2008 edition of the magazine showcases and offers at-a-glance details and in-depth articles on more than 145 of the top “Elite Certified” properties, as well as helpful, service-oriented features, a 12-month industry events calendar, and a preview of luxury properties opening soon. Digital editions of the 2008 publication can be downloaded free of charge on EliteMeetings.com; print editions can be ordered for $14.95 (plus shipping) from the Web site, as well, and can be found on select airport newsstands.
Elite Meetings International is based in Santa Barbara, CA, and connects top meeting and incentive professionals with the best hotels and resorts in North America through their annual publication, Elite Meetings magazine and semiannual event, the Elite Meetings Alliance (www.EliteMeetingsAlliance.com). Additionally, the company’s Web site serves as a vehicle for luxury properties targeting this highly qualified audience, and is provided online as a complimentary and comprehensive resource.
