Corporate Meetings & Incentives asked readers which hotels, resorts, and conference centers best handled their meetings and incentive programs during the past year. Hotels were evaluated on the meeting services' quality; resorts were judged on atmosphere, services, and recreational amenities. Conference centers (which must be members of the International Association of Conference Centers or deemed the equivalent by our editors) were judged on their facilities, equipment, and meetings services.

The ballot for the 2008 Paragon Awards is on page 44 of this issue; look for it in the August and September issues of CMI as well.

Special thanks to The Saddlebrook Resort, Tampa, Fla., which provided a two-night vacation package for two. Cheryl Hoffard, manager of meeting services with The Schwan Food Co., Marshall, Minn., which does more than 200 meetings each year, won the stay in our random ballot drawing.
