Destination Community -- Tech Industry Meetings

With the thousands of apps available for smartphones these days, it can be tough to figure out which apps are worth your time. I have compiled my “Top 5 Apps for Travel” and wanted to share them with you, hoping that they will make your next trip a breeze whether traveling for business or pleasure!

Hamilton Park Hotel’s very own Executive Sous Chef, C.J Chambers, recently brought home the gold, I mean copper. The Copper Skillet Award that is! Chef C.J.  was recently awarded the highest culinary award in a standoff competition between the best of the best chefs within the International Association of Conference Centers (IACC) collection. When asked to comment on C.J.’s recent honor, VP/Managing Director Joe Crimmins stated “It has been a pleasure to watch C.J. grow and refine his culinary skills during his time with Destination Hotels & Resorts and Hamilton Park! He is very passionate about his profession and has a natural curiosity which all great chefs possess!” That same curiosity that Mr. Crimmins speaks of is now expanding outside of the kitchen into some of New Jersey’s finest farms. As a result, Hamilton Park is a place where companies can conduct meetings while knowing that the hotel in which they are conducting business is committed to sustainability practices.

It is an exciting time to be working in the city of Tempe! Within the past year, it seems like a new business has opened its doors every week, and a new office building pops up every month. Drive along the Rio Salado Parkway, and it looks like downtown Tempe changes daily! In fact, over 300 technology-based firms, and 3,000 finance, insurance, and real estate companies call Tempe “home.”

Have you recently wondered if all these new gadgets and applications for those gadgets are truly helping us in the corporate world or hurting us?  Being the thirty something (early thirty something mind you) that I am, I feel as if I would be lost if I did not have my smartphone with my GPS, Bing/Google search engines and contact’s phone numbers on me at all times. What did our peers do in the past? I sound as if this was so long ago…. 

Don’t you want something different for your next meeting? A unique experience that will leave you with wonderful, everlasting memories?
