Palm Springs Marquis

The Palm Springs Marquis, one of the most technologically advanced conference resorts in the country, has created a new position, sales manager of information technologies, filled by Joe. He will be responsible for the development of "high tech" meetings, educating meeting and corporate planners on the conference resort's technological capabilities, and assisting with onsite functions. Joe's previous position, manager of leisure and international sales, will shift to Cindy, the conference resort's director of sales.

"The technology amenities offered at the conference resort - T1 Internet access in each guest room and all meeting rooms, a new teleconferencing suite, and by mid Summer, personal computers in fifty guest rooms -- has lured some of the country's most advanced technology companies to host their meetings at the Palm Springs Marquis, creating a new "high tech" meeting niche for the conference resort," states Cindy, director of sales at the Palm Springs Marquis Resort and Conference Center. "This new position is highly specialized to meet the ever changing demands of technology meetings and to service this sophisticated industry," adds her.

They don't call Palm Springs the "golf course capital of the world" for nothing. Not only are there more than 100 Palm Springs golf courses in the valley area, but they are also among the world's most beautiful. In fact, if you watch golf tournaments on television, you've already seen many of them. They star in the highly-rated network golf special. Tennis is the sport that originally built Palm Springs golf. Movie stars Charlie Farrell and Ralph Bellamy began their famed golf Racquet Club in Palm Springs to attract their Hollywood golf friends. Be warned, however, the gorgeous mountains in the background may play havoc with your concentration.
