Already the business session at resort conferences.
Newport is one of New England’s most popular meeting destinations, with harborfront hotels, resorts and historic mansions used for conferences, incentive trips and gala dinners. Chris has spoken at resort conferences in Palm Springs, at the Westin Rancho Mirage and at the Kalahari Resort, and keeps the session tight enough that the afternoon stays free.
