PRESS RELEASE AND PHOTOGRAPHS

We are pleased to report our recent Site Texas Summit a success thanks to our host, the Hilton Bella Harbor on Lake Ray Hubbard (just east of Dallas) and our generous sponsors. Wow!  What a beautiful event kicked off by a stellar opening keynote by Doyle Girouard, CEO The Cypress Group—Back to Future… Profits!  Key take-away regarding business meetings:  $1 invested in biz travel provides $12.50 in revenue and $3.80 in profits. Also, long-awaited industry info provided by the Convention Industry Council for those looking for great research and support as meetings swing back full-force—Meetings Mean Business!

Check out our photo gallery for a glimpse into the perfect lakefront venue for your group and ours the first night—food, service, and ambiance were all stellar. Kudos to the staff and this fine nautical-themed Hilton just east of Dallas. Very nice!

Monday was full speed ahead with a working breakfast with Site Texas’ partner and Corporate Social Responsibility agency-- North Texas Food Bank and their corporate involvement Serving U program.
