2008 Paragon Awards

Corporate Meetings & Incentives'

Once again Corporate Meetings & Incentives asked readers which hotels, resorts, and conference centers had best handled their meetings and incentive programs during the past year. Hotels were evaluated on the meeting services' quality, and 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.

Look for the ballot for the 2009 Paragon Awards in the July, August, and September issues of CMI.
