Corporate Event Planners Challenged to Find a Better Conference or Meeting Package

Aug. 3, 2009 - PRLog -- With picturesque views of Lake Geneva, excellent meeting facilities and conveniently located near Chicago and Milwaukee, The Abbey Resort has long been a favorite with event planners when hosting corporate meetings and company events.  Through September, the resort is making a sweet deal even sweeter by offering a guaranteed proposal to be the best pricing around for corporate events.

For a limited time, The Abbey Resort is offering guaranteed lowest pricing when a group books a corporate meeting or event, or the resort will match any comparable resort offer plus and an additional  10 free room nights.

“We understand that companies are looking for cost savings wherever they can right now.  Our match program offers an unbeatable value and the affordable prices allow companies to take full advantage of the distinct value of our meeting facilities, while having the confidence that they’ve found the most affordable option for holding their event or meeting,” said David Hume, director of sales and marketing for The Abbey Resort & AVANI Spa.

Hume added that “The Abbey Resort also has a new Meetings Reward Package for companies to receive additional savings when booking their events at the resort this summer.  Depending on the number of total rooms booked, The Abbey will offer a percentage off of the final bill, complimentary suites, VIP upgrades, and additional discounts on catering and activities.”

The Abbey Resort offers more than 50,000 square feet of flexible meeting space and boasts 334 guest rooms and suites to accommodate even a very large group.

“Our meeting venues offer the perfect setting for corporate training, seminars and teambuilding events,” said Hume.  “We also can coordinate cocktail cruises and outdoor events overlooking our marina for happy hours and networking events.  And, of course, Lake Geneva has some of the best golf courses in the Midwest.  The Abbey Resort really puts you in the heart of it all to work hard and play hard for a fun, successful event.”

The Abbey Resort also has a wide range of onsite dining and entertainment options for event attendees, including The Helm cocktail lounge; The Waterfront for casual waterfront dining; and the Fontana Grill, overlooking the resort’s harbor and serving steaks, chops and the resort’s signature buffets.

And, finally, all companies can enjoy activities for the young-at-heart executives during their free time, such as complimentary lawn and board games, movies on the resort’s big screen, Nintendo Wii video games, cycling – you name it.

For more information on the Exceptional Meetings Value Offer or Meetings Reward Package, event planners can fill out a request for proposal at www.theabbeyresort.com/match.cfm or call 800-6-GENEVA and ask for Group Sales. The offer is valid through September 30, 2009, Sunday through Friday only, and subject to availability.
