The
five-star Corinthia Hotel Lisbon will host the Annual Meeting
of “IGCE” April 22-24, 2008 (IGCE is the conference division of The
Sports Network—the premiere real time sports wire service in the United
States). The luxurious Corinthia property is the largest hotel meeting
facility in Lisbon.

Superb Meeting and Conference Facilities, the
unique Events@Corinthia program and the Corinthia Hotel Lisbon’s elegant
design were cited by IGCE Conference Coordinator Amanda Manero as some
of the key factors for their conference venue selection. Manero said she
was especially impressed with “the large and flexible meeting space and
the state-of-the-art, technologically advanced equipment” at the
Corinthia Hotel Lisbon |

– a perfect fit for her group’s agenda.
She also cited “the responsiveness, experience and efficiency of the
Hotel’s Events@Corinthia staff. “Whatever we’ve asked for, Corinthia
representatives have made happen, and quickly,” Ms. Manero comments. She
adds, “the elegance and amenities of the hotel makes it exactly the kind
of place our attendees like to be in.”
Other special features that were attractive to IGCE, noted Ms. Manero,
were free Internet in each delegate’s room, access to the business
services of the Executive Club, and individualized help with the
Conference’s “Go Green” theme, which will offer paperless meetings –
with all information on one disk -- registration by website only, and
other efforts to “go green”.
The Corinthia Hotel Lisbon
The Corinthia Hotel Lisbon, in addition to being the city’s largest, has
the most technologically advanced meeting and conference space in a
hotel in Lisbon. It has a capacity of 1,400, easily divided into the
client’s need for break-out space, and is equipped with the latest
technology.
The hotel, conveniently situated from the airport and from shopping and
nightlife areas, has 518 guest rooms, divided into Standard, Executive
and Suite spaces. Its Executive Club offers all business services
including complimentary use of computers, secretarial assistance, multi-lingual
staff and newspapers and magazines from around the globe. Three
restaurants and a Lounge/Bar offer both local and international fare.
The top floor of the Executive Club, boasts a stunning view of the city.
Events@Corinthia Program
Events@Corinthia offers everything needed to make the work of Meeting,
Incentive, Conference and Event (MICE) planners easier, while ensuring
the success of their event. Through Events@Cointhia, a Special Web Offer
Page centralizes all special offers, where they can search by date,
location or hotel. The planner may then place a Request for Proposal
immediately on the site, with a guaranteed 24-hour response (See www.corinthiahotels.com/conference-special-offers-asap.)
And with the Corinthia Promise “Hold the Quote in U.S. Dollars”
guarantee, the rate quoted at the time of the contract remains the same
whenever the event occurs.
The Events@Corinthia program also provides every group organizer with a
dedicated personal assistant 24/7 during the event. All efforts are made
to honor special and unique requests for each different event,
conference or meeting. A complimentary mobile phone for all local calls
connects the planner to the personal assistant and to relevant sources
in the city. And a special “Five Senses Room” for the planner during the
event makes the planner’s life even more luxurious and stress-free. (The
Five Senses in the room are stimulated through Touch –massage chair and
tracksuit; Sight—sensitive lighting and décor; Taste- freshly cut,
chilled, exotic fruits; Smell—aromatic lantern and essential oils; Sound-
soothing music.
And all this is backed by Events@Corinthia’s Promise
● Feedback-Initial Response Within 24 hours
● “Ready When You Are”-Automatic access to fully prepared event rooms
one hour before start, or earlier by request.
●Techno sure—All equipment supported by round-the-clock technical
assistance.
Following a successful Corinthia experience, if an
event organizer chooses later to use another Corinthia Hotel at another
destination for the organization’s next event, Corinthia Hotels ensures
a smooth transition. The Event Assistant already familiar with the
planner’s special needs will be sent to the new venue two days prior to
the event to brief the staff there on the organization’s requirements.
