Conferon On Pace To Hit New “Mill Stone” 1997 is shaping up to be a great year for future bookings and continued growth for Conferon! Thanks to our loyal clients and supplier relationships, we are on track to book over 1 million room nights in this calendar year. Through October, together, we have processed 900 hotel contracts, representing 830,000 room nights and over $120,000,000 in guest room revenue to hotels. These numbers make Conferon and each of our clients part of a group that is, by far, the largest purchaser of group rooms in the country! In 1997, several chains have recognized the volume of business that we bring to them. If you visit one of our five offices, you will see plaques from major chains indicating that Conferon is the largest purchaser of group rooms for their chain. Number one recognition has been awarded by notable chains like Hyatt, Sheraton, and Westin. Additionally, most other major chains, including Marriott, rank our buying volume in the top five. Many chains have a hard time tracking the volume delivered by third parties. We provide periodic booking reports to them to ensure that they are aware of the buying that our clients are doing through Conferon. Our volume with independent hotels and smaller chains also continues to rise at a dramatic pace. On-going growth would not be possible without a loyal customer base and excellent supplier relationships. We thank our clients for continuing to choose Conferon to represent your business to the hotel community! We plan to keep meeting and exceeding your expectations in booking and servicing your meeting and convention needs. We also thank our hotel, convention bureau, and supplier partners, for meeting the needs of both Conferon and our clients! Last, but not least, we thank the 125 plus employees of Conferon! Our employees are our number one reason that our client retention is impeccable and our supplier relationships, strong. We believe that the best formula for continued growth is to take care of the clients that we have and continue to do business with the high ethical level we both share. We receive the majority of our new business through referrals from our clients and suppliers because of the high quality that our employees consistently deliver. Thanks a “Million” to all!
