MeetingS ELITE The Planner’s Ultimate Source For Meeting and Incentive Travel 2012 Gold Collection From the Publisher
Members Only. For me, those two words have always conjured up curiosity and heightened expectations of value and service. So it just made sense that, in order for Elite Meetings International to raise the bar on a regular basis, we’d need to adopt the members-only model ourselves. And so, adopt we did. Free to planners,
EliteMeetings.com membership grants access to over
2,000 Elite-certified venues and the specific search criteria critical to selecting the perfect place. As a preview, the 2012 Gold edition of Elite Meetings—one of the only meetings-based magazines on the newsstand—highlights nearly 50 distinguished and distinctive hotels and resorts in Europe, the Caribbean, Mexico, Canada, and the United States. We’re also putting an emphasis on online interactive content, including more peer reviews and ratings, as well as shared best practices. Our mission has always been to offer planners and hospitality providers
exclusive tools to book group business, premiering products such as SpeedRFP— the world’s fastest universal RFP system—and FaceTime Appointment Scheduler, along with outstanding networking opportunities through the Elite Meetings Alliances (EMA). And you can certainly look forward to many more firsts this year. Curious? Consider this publication your personal invitation to join us and
discover the many benefits of free membership for yourself. Sincerely,
