Home Meeting Planner
"The St. Petersburg/Clearwater area offers all the attraction of Florida, without the distractions. It’s a clean, beautiful, uncrowded setting. We were really impressed with the wide range of hotels to choose from, all experienced in meetings and conventions. Our choice of the beautiful Renaissance Vinoy Resort was perfect. From the desk clerks to the staff of the CVB, everyone allowed us to plan a meeting from far away and make it a total success." "Our annual spring meetings help forge important relationships between government and the aerospace industry, and help build consensus in our industry. The meeting environment has to be right. For the last 21 years, we’ve found that environment at the Sheraton Sand Key Resort. There simply are no surprises there. It’s a good value and run by good people. And the area offers golf, the beach and a huge number of great restaurants. Our people usually stay a couple of days before or after, just to enjoy it all." Warren Balish Aerospace Industries Association "We’ve had several meetings at various properties in the St. Petersburg/Clearwater area: The Belleview Biltmore, the Clearwater Hilton, the Safety Harbor Resort and Spa, and we’ve never had one bad experience. The area’s easy to sell to our people. There’s a lot going on there. And being a beach destination, it’s a big hit with our people coming in from non-beach areas. Having an evening function right on the beach can be a beautiful experience." John Jiga Coca-Cola Company "We were looking for a place to have our annual dealer meeting; something different and not the usual Florida resort. We found it in the Belleview Biltmore Resort. It’s wonderful, with golf right on the premises. And the atmosphere and design take you back to an elegant, bygone era. The food is the best anywhere in the country, and the Banquet Facilities Manager went way out of his way to help at every step, even putting up our signs for us." Nina Birge The Trane Company "The great thing about a meeting in the St. Petersburg/Clearwater area is that it has everything Florida has to offer. It’s especially attractive if your meetings include spouse programs. The Don Cesar Resort provided a beautiful evening reception on the beach. We also had a reception at the Dali Museum, and one day we toured Tarpon Springs. Our members are looking forward to coming back, and we’re planning to do just that in 2000." Eugenia Cisneros Association of Metropolitan Water Agencies "Our sales meetings include from 300 to 1,100 people who arrive from all over the country, so the area fits the bill perfectly. It allows for more non-stop flights than most other areas of the country. Once there, it’s easy to get around – and to get to EPCOT and Disney. We discovered the Innisbrook Resort on a FAM trip and have been there several times over the last five years. It gives us the size and break-out rooms we need. We're returning again in February of ’99." Joan Fritz 3M Corporation "As a new Meeting Planner, this was my first conference and the attendees said it was the best ever. Our event included everything from a paddlewheel sunset cruise to an outlet shopping spree. The CVB put me in touch with everything and everyone I needed in order to make it happen. It was an extremely successful event, and the CVB really made me shine." Sharon Walker Health Care Executive Assistants of the American Hospital Association |
