You are in one of the six meeting rooms and it gives you a spectacular view of Montreal, which makes your daylong conference marathon a little less tiresome. Knowing an excellent catered lunch awaits also helps. Maybe you’ll step out on the terrace during the next scheduled break. Reading your emails won’t seem like work while you’re taking in a bit of sunlight.
With all of the latest audio-visual technology at your disposal, along with the certainty that, for once, PC and MAC will coexist in harmony, there’s nothing to fear: the day will continue without any mishap.
At least you know that tonight’s cocktail will be just as elegant as promised: the reception area is beautiful, the service efficient, the food is excellent (the catering is first rate) and there is more than enough room for everyone to talk, mingle and reconnect (having a few thousand square feet at one’s disposal never hurts). Not that this is an elaborate banquet, but then again, you know the hotel could handle that too: you’ve already talked to their meeting planner.
