Our 2022 Best Of Award Winners!
As the return to in-person meetings continues its rapid ascent, meeting and event planners need resources to help in their site selection and destination decisions. After a one-year pandemic hiatus—with the number of facilities and destinations essentially closed during the depths of the pandemic, it didn’t make sense to ask our meeting planner readers to judge their experiences—Best Of is back!
Meetings Today polled its audience about what they think the best facilities—and now destinations and convention centers—are via their experiences with them in the previous year. We also reached out to industry professionals and weighed our own coverage to determine the 2022 winners.
Criteria included the following:
- Quality of meeting space
- Guest rooms
- Guest services and amenities
- Food and beverage service
- Efficiency and helpfulness of the staff
- Availability and quality of tech
- Recreational facilities and activities
- Cleanliness and COVID-19 protocols
- Overall value and experience
So, without further ado, here are the 2022 Meetings Today Best Of winners, which are also showcased in the October issue of Meetings Today. Happy planning!
