DALLAS
Omni Hotels & Resorts has announced the return of Be Collaborative, a professional development series offered once a year to meeting planner and travel managers across the nation. This year’s theme for the series is revenue management.
The theme of the program differs by year, yet the overall objective remains the same; provide insight on how clients and suppliers can understand and appreciate each other’s perspectives and offer insight on partnering to collaboratively overcome obstacles to their mutual satisfaction. The program, conducted road-show style at various Omni hotels across the country, is a half-day-long and centers on professional and personal development, followed by a networking cocktail hour. Each session features a notable expert speaker and professional development content presented by an industry expert.
The revenue management theme will have a specific emphasis on how it affects meetings, negotiations and individual travel. The one-hour educational session will feature a special guest speaker who will provide information revealing the strategies behind revenue management and techniques on how to leverage their new found knowledge for their organization’s benefit.
The Be Collaborative series kicked off at the Omni Bedford Springs Resort in Bedford, Pa., last week. Subsequent locations and dates include the Omni Fort Worth Hotel on Oct. 10; Omni Chicago Hotel on Oct. 15; Omni Berkshire Place in Midtown Manhattan on Oct. 24; Omni Barton Creek Resort & Spa in Austin on Nov. 13; Omni Hotel at CNN Center in Atlanta on Nov. 20; Omni Parker House in Boston on Nov. 22; and the Omni San Francisco Hotel on Dec. 6. The program has been approved by the Convention Industry Council (CIC) and Global Business Travel Association (GBTA) for continuing education credit toward CMP or GTP certification or recertification.
