Association Meetings’ 2010 Inner Circle Award Winners

Kudos to our Inner Circle Award winners for 2010! In our 19th annual Inner Circle Award program, our readers have chosen 40 hotel winners. These properties were selected for their high level of service, flexible function space, quality of food and beverage, and good value on room rates.

For the 12th year in a row, AM readers have also voted for their top-rated convention centers, convention and visitors bureaus, and tourist boards.

Congratulations to all our winners!
