On Location: Banff and Lake Louise

I had the good fortune to attend a conference in Banff, Alberta, this year, and was blown away. At the Fairmont Banff Springs, the mountains call to you from every vantage point. Even the resort's conference center, which features a 1,600-seat ballroom, offers magnificent views. Attendees won't want to miss the hotel's 18-hole Stanley Thompson championship course and nine-hole Tunnel course.
