Showcasing Best Practices in Minnesota’s Hospitality Industry
*Nominees can watch for an invitation in the mail.
We welcome your submissions for our first Vision Awards, a celebration of the industry’s best practices performed over the past year. Did you produce an event that exceeded all of your expectations? Do you have co-worker who has inspired your team’s performance? Do you have a favorite vendor who made your event run smoother? Now is the chance to give them and yourself the deserved recognition in Minnesota’s hospitality industry.
Our seven categories highlight best practices across the industry, from customer service to leadership and innovation. Choose the appropriate category and nominate your peers (or yourself) or your event.
Those who work in Minnesota’s hospitality industry can nominate themselves or others to highlight those who perform best practices. Individuals may work as meeting planners, vendors or other third-party partners serving the hospitality industry. Note: One category asks for vendor nominations only, and another category highlight planners’ events. Otherwise every category is open to nominations of either vendors or meeting planners.
Must be a Minnesota planner, vendor or hospitality employee. Nominated events must have taken place within the past 12 months (July 2008-June 2009).
