Please describe a past program that you feel typifies the business opportunity you represent for our partners:

Pharma drug launches – Typically 300-500 attendees for 3 nights in a destination we can negotiate ~$300 / room. Hilton preferred, busy season is typically spring.

Please share with us an opportunity you are currently working on:

Working with sourcing to source a property for a launch next year. Likely around 250 people for 3 nights. Looking at Orlando area, but can extend further West – Not the coast though since there will be attendees from Germany. Budget is $300 all inclusive. We did the last one in Miami, so something a little different.

Hyatt Regency properties always do amazingly! Lots of luck in Chicago and around Florida.
