Ritz-Carlton wants to host your meeting

"It's not extravagant if it produces results" is the mantra of Ritz-Carlton's new offer for groups.

Ritz-Carlton is looking to host conferences and off-site meetings for groups of 10 or more (booking a minimum of 10 rooms), and they have a lot to offer:

• Daily continental breakfast
• General session meeting room with high speed internet access
• 20 per cent savings on audio visual needs
• Select suite upgrades

The "Meetings Within Reach" promotion is available all over the world, so why not convince your boss to take you all somewhere exotic? You know, to bond. Trust exercises are so lame.

Meetings must be booked by September 30 and held by December 31, 2009, so get on it. The rates start at $159 per room per night (different prices in different locations). Whether your meeting is a conference, an educational seminar, a customer service appreciation or incentive trip, or an annual retreat, holding it in the lap of luxury is a pretty good idea.

"We are encouraging organizations to realize the value of a truly results-oriented meeting," says sales and marketing corporate senior vice president Bruce Himelstein.

And like the mantra says, it's worth it if it works!
