Let's Meet at Hilton International properties

"We've used our wealth of experience in organising conferences, meetings and a wide range of corporate and social occasions to develop this new umbrella concept to market all our event space across our entire network of properties, giving every event an individual identity," said Guy Epsom, Hilton International's Regional Sales and Marketing Director for the Arabian Peninsula at the Hilton Dubai Jumeirah regional launch. "We are providing our customers with a great number of reasons to meet at Hilton by offering a menu of tailor-made packages," he added.

With three key Let's Meet! themes - Around the Clock, Master Classes and Dialogue Time, each concept offers a number of sub-packages and conforms to four minimum standards including ease of booking, creative and flexible food and beverage, fresh and contemporary facilities, as well as a dedicated event manager.

Around the Clock caters for corporate customers' travel requirements by providing a flexible meeting environment with extra-added services. Some of the packages on offer include As Late as You Like, which offers guests the chance to have evening and late night meetings - particularly relevant for Ramadan, and Weekend Meetings where business travellers can hold their meetings over the weekend while also taking the opportunity to enjoy some of the city's tourist attractions.

Meanwhile, Master Classes provide a unique, interactive environment for delegates by enhancing traditional meetings, and underscoring that there is more to life than work. Some of the Master Classes on offer include Culinary, Cigar Connoisseur, Dance, Healthy Body and Healthy Mind, and Henna.

Dialogue Time offers meeting environment set ups, which are tailored to the needs of specific sectors. Examples of packages on offer include: Brainstorm sessions, whereby Hilton offers a relaxing environment with sofas and bean bags, selection of music and cue cards with tips for effective brainstorming, while the Recruiting/ Interviewing packages provide facilities with separate entrances and exits.

"We have an in-depth understanding of the needs of our corporate clients, whether they are major corporations, local companies, or individual business travellers, and a great deal of research has gone into developing our new Let's Meet! philosophy to ensure that it positions Hilton as the first choice for meetings," said Guy Epsom.
