Renaissance Hotels & Resorts North America announced that it has launched an online community (www.rhr-standout.com) where meeting planners can network, share the latest industry news and trends through an online forum, plan and organize meetings at all Renaissance North America properties and register for chances to win monthly prizes.
The site will serve as a continually updated resource providing information on planning an 'Enlightened Event,' the Renaissance approach to distinctive meetings and events, including a brief online video, destination finder, showcase of Executive Chefs from across North America and the latest tips from industry insiders.
'We wanted this to go a step further than just providing a planning tool,' said Michael Beardsley, Vice President of Sales & Marketing, Renaissance Hotels and Resorts North America. 'The added value is in our extensive online forum where meeting planners can share innovative strategies, best practices, things to avoid and favorite experiences. This site will encourage meeting planners to 'be curious,' promoting an open dialogue for information exchange and industry news. Since the site will be a continuous discussion with new promotions, news and features each month, we see it as becoming a standard on our meeting planners 'Favorites' list, driving repeat visits.'
To help drive traffic to the site during the launch period, Renaissance is offering meeting planners who use the site to book events now through December 31, 2007, up to 100,000 Marriott Rewards(R) bonus points. These valuable points can be redeemed for free nights, flights or vacations throughout the world. Restrictions apply, so please visit the site for promotion details.
The site also features a monthly sweepstakes that allows meeting planners to enter to win useful prizes including a TomTom Go 910 portable GPS and other electronics, all-inclusive trips and more.
