The hospitality industry is filled with partners who work creatively with meeting professionals to deliver delight on a silver platter. Smart Meetings readers nominated the hotels, conference centers, CVBs and destination marketing organizations that consistently exceed expectations and help planners deliver on their goals.

That list of go-to suppliers is honored with the coveted Platinum Choice Award, the sign of a trusted partner. Look for them when it is time to stage your next brilliant experience.

This has been a challenging year! Congratulations to the service-driven companies recognized in the 2020 Platinum Choice Awards. These hotel, conference center, convention and visitors bureau, and destination marketing organization partners have gone above and beyond during these difficult times and moved to the top of readers’ lists by delivering professional, creative and thoughtful service. Meeting production is a collaborative industry and working with the best-in-class is how we deliver above expectations for attendees and clients. Kudos to all the winners for distinguishing themselves in a crowded hospitality industry by going a step beyond. —Miss B
