Another amazing #CMITE event. Great to connect with old friends and get to know #Anguilla.

Well done, Andrea and Questex, for coordinating such a productive event. Special thanks to Marina and Aurora Anguilla for the hospitality and taking such good care of @GMI_Worldwide.

It was wonderful to get reacquainted with The Ritz-Carlton Maui, Kapalua. Thank you, Jessica, for inviting me up for the Kapalua Wine & Food Festival, and mahalo Kenji, Kimi and Jenna ... the entire Ritz team did an amazing job.

Just back from an amazing staycation at #Wailea Beach Resort Marriott #Maui. From our dinner at Humble Market Kitchen, to our treatments at @MandaraSpa, to our immersion in the Olakino Wellness Experience, it was a special stay.

Mahalo Laurie , Allison & Angela!

Had a whirlwind site visit at @JWMarriott Los Angeles L.A. LIVE. Attending the 75th Emmy Awards was the cherry on top.

I wanted to say a special thanks to Brandon, Justin, Jeannette, Tara and Javier for the hospitality, and thanks to entire team for taking such good care of us.

Had a great family staycation at the @waileamarriott. Feeling recharged and ready for #IMEX22.

Special thanks to Karen Rudd taking such great care of us. Mahalo!

I love receiving client emails like this:

“We had a wonderful event and all of us loved the hotel (@AlohilaniResort). Just wanted to say thank you for assisting us.”

Thank YOU, Erinn, for trusting me with your program. And mahalo Jenna B and the Alohilani team. #Hawaii

[Kristin Vines @GMIKristin]

Had a productive trip to #Cleveland with @ACCTinfo, collaborating with @HiltonCleveland, @CLEconventions and @TheCLE to implement a diverse, multi-pronged approach to health and safety for our upcoming event, including self-cleaning surfaces and touchless entry points.

[Kristin Vines @GMIKristin]

When you ask your client how the program went & get this;

"Your hotel suggestion (@elsanjuanhotel) was perfect for our group! I appreciate your attention to detail & negotiating skills ... [including] many additional upgrades."

Thank YOU, Mary!

A new survey by @apcoworldwide shows that 81% of professionals who attended in-person meetings & conventions before the pandemic miss doing so & would be just as likely—if not more likely—to attend in-person conferences, conventions, trade shows & business events in the future.

I'm actively helping clients plan programs in Cincinnati, Norfolk, Key West, Seattle, even Greece.
