I've planned these types of meetings for years now and this is the first time I've felt more like an attendee than the event organizer.

The staff was friendly and genuinely happy that we held our event at the Highland Conference Center. I don't recall being thanked for our business at other locations by other people than management. More than once, set-up crew thanked us for choosing the conference center- a sign of a great team and happy employees.
