The Hilton Naples Florida Hotel joined forces with the Naples CVB and several other South Florida CVB's to host 70+ meeting planners in Tallahassee. It was a fantastic event with the intent to strengthen relationships between hotels with meeting space in Naples (and South Florida) and the meeting planners who plan events around the State of Florida.
Here is what one of our event attendees had to say about the event:
"It really means a lot to have such a wonderful group travel to Tallahassee to give us an opportunity to meet and talk with each one of you about what your area has to offer. We get numerous emails from hoteliers about their facility, but it is really good when you meet the person face to face to talk about what they have to offer. I know we see some of you twice a year or more, but still there are new and innovative things that are happening at your site that is of interest to us. We as meeting planners are always looking for uniqueness in each event, but more than that we are trying to form relationships with our hoteliers. It is relationships that move this industry............word of mouth encounters, experiences we share-good or bad and being connected to someone that has a stake in your event. All of this makes for a great event, time and time again........it is called repeat business."
