GABBY!!! OMG! I agree that it was the absolute best IMEX and I owe this all to you and your team!
Thank you so much for your wonderful, amazing, stupendous, gracious, kind and warm hospitality! It was so lovely to enjoy the few days at IMEX with you! The Preferred Team is at the top of their game, and I love partnering with you all!
And that dinner at Casa Playa..... Wowzers! I am still dreaming about it! What a treat!
Sending you a bow and a courtesy, and of course a massive hug!
Humbly and with lots of love,

Thank you SO Much for hosting me at IMEX. It was very valuable to meet with all the preferred hoteliers both through appointments and at our lunch and dinner events. Plus, you are just the best! And a lot of fun! And I love your hotels.
I know it’s so much time, effort (and money!) you all put into IMEX, and it’s appreciated. I will keep your hotels top of mind.
Thank you for the digital brochure – I’m sharing this out with the team now!

Hi Christie,
Thank you so much for being such a gracious host for myself, Cindy and Gwen. We had great experiences throughout the week and enjoyed meeting many of your partners. AND!!! Your Wednesday evening event was spectacular! The restaurant was amazing, along with the wonderful company at our table!
You all are the best and we will work through Preferred as often as we can:’ )

I had a few other options for hosted buyer programs this year, but I’m so glad I went with the Preferred family again for my second year in a row and, no surprise, it was another wonderful experience!
One of the things I really love about being hosted with Preferred is the range of suppliers you bring together. It’s such a great mix, not just one hotel brand or portfolio, but a thoughtful blend of premium partners from all over. Everything feels so well-curated and intentional, which makes each meeting genuinely valuable.
And honestly, the networking is one of my favorite parts. It always feels more like catching up with friends than work, the planners are amazing, the suppliers are fantastic, and the energy is just fun. You all make it easy to connect in meaningful ways and still have a good laugh.
And speaking of amazing, I truly love Christie. She’s an absolute gem! Warm, professional, funny, and just one of those people who makes the whole experience feel comfortable.
So truly, thank you. I always walk away with new ideas, new connections, and a full heart and belly.
Appreciate all the effort, energy, and care your team puts into this, it really shows ♥️
