Rhode Island Convention Center
Hotel: Rhode Island Convention Center Location: Providence Overview: We had the opportunity to produce a conference at the RI Convention Center last month. The audience size was approximately 300.

Hyatt Regency Hill Country San Antonio
Overview: This is one of the better Hill Country hotels in my opinion. Two large ballrooms are joined by numerous breakout rooms and outdoor areas. The biggest downside is that property is located in the Hill Country area and requires dedicated transportation to any offsite venues. Ballrooms: There are two main ballrooms at the property. […]

Meritage Resort & Spa
Napa, CA Overview: There are not a lot of properties in Napa that can host a corporate event. The Meritage in Napa is one that works well for small or medium sized events. One of the things I liked best about this property was that it felt like the event “owned” the property. I think because it isn’t […]

Hotel del Coronado
San Diego, CA Overview: This is a historic hotel right by the water in San Diego. The rooms in the main hotel are the best rooms—the rooms in the adjacent buildings are a little dated.

Hilton Anatole
Dallas, TX Overview: I have heard that this is one of the busiest conference hotels in the Hilton chain, and after working here I believe it. This is a very large property so it has some quirks that can definitely influence the success of an event, but that size also makes it a great hotel for […]
