Plan You Premier Corporate Meeting

I know that most people who get assigned to plan a corporate conference do not necissarily think of using a resort as the venue. Of course if you don't you would possibly be missing out on one of the best resources for exciting and powerful meetings. Remember that the backdrop of your stage sets the tone for the entire conference. Which would you rather, a busy metropolitan downtown site with plenty of traffic, congestion, and smog or beautiful lake tahoe with its skiing, boating, and fun setting. I have used Premier Resorts (www.premier-resorts.com) a number of times. What first sold me is a quote from their site:

Our properties offer two compelling attractions for meeting consideration: dedicated world-class facilities and trained, experienced group support staff.

I thought to myself okay, that makes sense. Then I looked at the possibilites. Everything from Idaho to Mexico is available. If I need a location right next door for a large meeting I choose one of the Utah resorts. If I am having a smaller retreat I go all out and take everyone to Mexico. The meetings are more productive and the meetings stay on target and focused because everyone is in a good mood. All in all a conference with Premier is like a walk in the park on a spring day, throughouly enjoyable.
