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

We handle events and meetings of all sizes, so long as they’re over 10 rooms/night. Our average program right now looks like 25-55 rooms per night (prior to COVID, closer to 125/night), single occupancy conferences that last around 2-3 days. Popular destinations have been warm-weather locations like MIA, FLL, ORL, PHX, SF, LA, SD, AUS, to name a few.

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

50 people/rooms, 3 nights, looking at Miami, Atlanta and area by Manassas, VA. This will be May 16-19 of this year and is a postponed division kick off to go over sales strategies and goals. Approximate budget of $300K with flights. In the past it was held at the JW Marriott Atlanta Buckhead

In what locales have you found the greatest program successes?

Orlando always has the space you need and the lift, I also have decent luck with programs looking at Atlanta for the same reasons. I have trouble in Boston and commonly Phoenix and Miami with pricing/availability.

Level of luxury you expect for your most important programs: Mid-level Luxury: ($250-$350 per night), Luxury: ($350-$550 per night)
