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.
