Congratulations to the 2008 Winners of the Inner Circle Award
Kudos to all the winners in our 17th annual Inner Circle Award program. This tribute is paid by AM readers who voted for these top hotels, resorts, convention centers, CVBs, and tourist boards as the best to have serviced their meetings and conventions in the past 12 months. Look for the ballot for our 18th Inner Circle Awards program on page 40. The winners for 2009 will be announced in our August issue.
