ORANJESTAD – June – It was last Friday that a very special meeting took place; the introduction of “Meetings Imagined”; a comprehensive meeting strategy by Marriott International. “Meetings Imagined” is inspired by people and created to transform the average meeting or event into an experience. While others are focused on tables and chairs, we start with people and the purpose of their meeting.  Intuitively we know that people that are gathered for a training session have different needs than those gathered for a networking event. This is the philosophy behind Meetings Imagined. MeetingsImagined.com is the industry’s first visual, social and collaborative website to change the way customers shop, buy and plan meetings and is unmatched by any competitor.  This award winning pin-worthy website can be used by both associates and customers – starting with the purpose of the meeting or event – to inspire and design using new ideas.

This is a differentiated approach for selling and planning meetings based on purpose launched by Marriott International for all its full service hotels. “It is our vision to be the first choice for meetings and events – which we already are for Aruba, and we are most grateful for that. We always try to be innovative and in doing so we brainstorm with all organizations who want their meetings, event and conference to take place at our venue”, this according to Renaissance Aruba Resort & Casino executive. “Meetings Imagined” is a first-of-its-kind concept that reinvents how meetings are planned, making them more visual, social, and purposeful. While others may focus on just meeting logistics, Renaissance Aruba Resort & Casino is reimagining the experience for the next generation with the innovative Meetings Imagined concept that infuses a more sophisticated approach based on objectives and outcomes. To do this, Renaissance Aruba Resort & Casino is innovating in the areas of service, space, culinary and technology, to create an elevated experience for both planners and attendees. Renaissance Aruba associates play a critical role in helping to achieve this vision. Rather than focusing just on dates, rates and room layouts, Meetings Imagined takes a holistic approach, honing in on the specific purpose of the meeting to create and design a more engaging experience.

During the presentation last Friday Renaissance Aruba Resort & Casino introduced this new project to all associates. Renaissance Aruba Resort & Casino has its own Convention Center and is Aruba’s largest meeting facility used by numerous local organizations,”We want to change the concept of how meetings are planned. Each brand has designed their own specific global meeting strategy. Renaissance offers R.E.N. Meetings. Meetings for the senses infused with local flavor and delivered with turnkey networking events and local excursions.  “Meetings Imagined” will ignite the passion we already have for meetings and events and through its innovative tools and brand proof points, will empower us to help make the customer successful. Every year our convention center hosts numerous events, meetings and conferences- and we can’t wait to introduce this exiting concept to our customers”, according to Renaissance Aruba Resort & Casino executive.
