The world of hospitality is full of exceptional offerings, grand experiences and otherworldly amenities, but how do you parse through the fantastic to find the best of the best? When it comes to your event, only the best will do.
That selection process results in Platinum Choice Awards, a collection of the industry’s top hospitality partners pushing events and meetings forward. After we put out a call for nominations of the top destinations and venues, readers from our Smart Meetings community vote on their favorites based on actual lived experiences in ballrooms and off sites.
The partners below excel at what they do and deserve to be celebrated for their innovativeness, ability to accommodate meeting planners and their attendees, and contributions to the event community. Say congrats to these suppliers when you see them and be sure to save this list of MVP suppliers for your sourcing needs in 2026 and beyond. Happy planning.
