When only the best will do, the Smart Meetings Community can always turn to their peers to spill the coffee on the grandest ballroom, who has a fabulous conference services team and where to turn for a drama-free citywide.
Since you don’t have time to call everyone in this dynamic cohort, we asked them for you and put it in this handy guide you can tear out, bookmark and save for the next big gathering. You nominated, voted on and shared your experiences in venues all over the world, and we listened. From boutique hotels to golf resorts and convention centers—42 categories of airlines, cruise lines, destinations and hotels in all—we flagged the partners who will help you elevate your attendee experience.
The following are the best of the best. Tell them you heard about them from your MeetSmart besties, and let us know what made your short-list of stellar partners this year.
In appreciation for all you do,
JT Long
Vice President
