For the sixth year in a row, readers of Insurance Conference Planner have selected their favorite hotels and resorts. And for the sixth year in a row, the 40 top vote-getters are honored with our Premium Circle Award, acknowledging their excellence in the meetings field. Insurance companies' meeting executives cast their ballots based on meeting room quality, staff, catering and convention services, food and beverage service, guest room quality, and audiovisual and technical support. We offer sincere congratulations to all our winners, and a special round of applause to those properties marked with an asterisk (*), as they have earned our award every year since its inception in 1992. The ballot for the seventh annual Premium Circle Awards will appear in the March/April and May/June 1998 issues of Insurance Conference Planner.
