Kudos to all 55 winners for receiving honors in the eighth annual Inner Circle Awards program. This tribute is paid by AM readers, who voted these top hotels, resorts, convention centers, and convention and visitors bureaus as the best to have serviced their meetings and conventions in the past 12 months. Look for the ballot for our ninth annual Inner Circle Awards on page 32. In the October issue, we will spotlight again the best convention and visitor bureaus and convention centers.
