Elite Meetings International Announces Resort Hosts and Dates for 2015 Elite Meetings Alliances

Host hotels are selected based on a number of factors, but above all, they must rank among the best in delivering a spectacular group experience. Both Hyatt Ziva Rose Hall and La Cantera Hill Country Resort will soon be debuting the results of extensive renovations, meaning EMA attendees will be among the first to experience these property-wide transformations. Vdara provides a relative rarity in Vegas: a boutique-style experience in an all-suite, non-gaming, non-smoking, eco-friendly environment. All three resorts promise to create an exciting, productive environment for attendees.

“Our host hotels are essential to the success of each Elite Meetings Alliance,” says Foy. “We selected these properties because each one brings a unique experience to the table. Then it's up to us to deliver valuable content and numerous opportunities for planners and hoteliers to interact – through networking and team-building events, as well as in prescheduled one-on-one appointments.”

Education eligible for CMP credits and enjoyable networking opportunities round out EMA agendas that center on serious business discussions. Each invitation-only event brings together roughly 200 of the industry's top corporate and association buyers, hotel suppliers, sponsors and speakers. All attending hotels must be certified as Gold or Platinum by the Elite Meetings Advisory Board, and qualifications for buyers include a booking history of and future need for above-average room rates and spending for food and beverage.

Registration for the January 2015 Elite Meetings Alliance at Hyatt Ziva Rose Hall is now open at www.EliteMeetingsAlliance.com.
