Destinations

Albuquerque

Give your meeting a Southwest flair.

The rich cultural heritage and vivid colors of the Spanish, the Native Americans and the Mexicans are synonymous with the city of Albuquerque.

Breckenridge

Take your meeting to the heights in Colorado's Breckenridge, Copper Mountain and Keystone.

Once an old mining town with roots dating back to 1859, Breckenridge has transformed itself in recent decades into one of the world’s premier ski destinations. Today, the town is home to more than 100 restaurants and 200 shops, and it’s known among skiers as something of a party town.

Copper Mountain

Take your meeting to the heights in Colorado's Breckenridge, Copper Mountain and Keystone.

Farther west and conveniently located off I-70, Copper Mountain does not have as active a town scene as Breckenridge, but it provides its own outstanding options to groups. This is largely because the entire resort - including the conference center and all lodging - is managed by a single corporation, IntraWest, which has developed the property with a focus over the past decade.

Oahu

Get carried away (with your laptop) on Oahu and Kauai.

Oahu sets the rhythm of the Hawaiian Islands, whether it’s business, pleasure or a combination of the two. The island, with a population of 902,704, encapsulates the full range of contrasts to be found in the 50th state.
