The guest speakers attending this annual meeting at the Phoenician kept everyone’s attention. Another example of all the logistics involved in a destination multi day corporate meeting and why you need the best DMC in Arizona to help plan your event.

These several days for this client were action packed. The first part of the second day of this annual meeting had both motivational speaker Herm Edwards as well as Actor, Michael B Jordan of Black Panther fame. In between the folks at Bacardi spoke about the state of the industry.

I assume it is a difficult decision for a large company to decide where to host their meeting every year. I assume the parameters include good weather, lots of outdoor activities, a resort that makes everyone happy and of course a place that might be relatively easy to get to non stop from many places in the US. I’m making this up of course.

But the Phoenix / Scottsdale area has so much to offer. From amazing weather at least 9 months a year, plenty of outdoor things to do like golf, archery, hiking, bike riding, swimming, the list goes on. So many incredible resorts like the Phoenician, with luxury accommodations, great restaurants, multiple pools, golf, a spa and of course plenty of meeting space.

Taken from the Phoenician’s website: From its inspiring Sonoran surroundings to its freshly remodeled accommodations that allow you to stay anew, The Phoenician provides both the essential setting and AAA Five Diamond service for meetings and special events. Whether small, executive gatherings or grand affairs, the resort’s diverse venues, exquisite culinary experiences, contemporary guestrooms and signature amenities create a luxurious backdrop to the iconic hospitality you have come to expect.

It is no wonder that these resorts are so busy. These meeting planners had so much going on in these several days, arranging speakers yet another in the long list of services they provided. Being in great hands between the right meeting planner, DMC and resort = a successful event.
