Located in the Southern California city of Temecula (recently ranked by Wine Enthusiast as a top wine destination), Pechanga is home to the largest casino in the western United States. The Teneo team selected Pechanga Resort & Casino, a tribal gaming property that recently underwent a $100 million upgrade that brought the construction of a new tower and extensive meeting facilities. We wanted a property with a lot of off-site activities, and we wanted to give them something out of the ordinary that would give them ideas for their own meetings.” “These are our top clients, so we try to create a really memorable experience. “At our event, everyone’s a VIP,” says Danielle Halbert, director of marketing and communications for Teneo. After all, Teneo Summit is a four-day gathering that brings together a group of 100 accomplished meeting planners who have pretty much seen it all. When the event planning team at Teneo, a hospitality group that represents 350 hotels, resorts, and destination management companies, sought a property for 2018 Teneo Summit, it knew it needed something special. Gaming properties can help planners deliver VIP experiences for attendees
