Convention Service Professional — the manager or director responsible for ensuring that your meeting is properly serviced & your contact throughout the entire meeting planning process

General Manager — the person who oversees the entire hotel

Banquet or Catering Manager — responsible for any food functions that are part of your meeting

Food and Beverage Director — responsible for the hotel’s restaurant and bar operations

Front Office Manager — supervises front office operations including reservations, guest registration & switchboard

Audio/Visual Technician — if the hotel has an in-house AV department, this staff provides AV equipment and technicians to run it

Accounting Manager — responsible for billing your organization for your meeting
