2016 Westin General Managers Summit

The 2016 Westin GM Summit, was a gathering of 200+ General Managers, key corporate, global, divisional brand support teams and stakeholders from around the world.

The goals for this meeting were set to build on the momentum of the internal brand culture for this iconic brand that has a very tight GM community, to welcome new General Managers into the fold and define together the future of the brand. The Westin Global Marketing lead the meeting showcasing refreshed brand programs, building a sense of community, exchanging and discussing new ideas, reviewing standards, reviewing business opportunities and presenting the visual evolution of the brand with the end goal of having the attendees leave inspired and equipped to spread information and excitement to their teams.

This three day event's run of show was logistically a great challenge to manage, coordinate and orchestrate. Every single day the environments transformed daily, graphics were changed, vignettes revealed and public spaces sequentially activated and revealed to match the day's agenda. The two bars/ F&B stations in the pre-function space required the changing of the graphics and the F & B set ups to match each break's theme. My personally favorite moment was bringing in a 16' Spruce Christmas tree into the Westin Hilton Head Resort in the middle of summer and hiding it until the reveal.
