Reignite the spark of in-person events, and get rewarded for it too

Knowledge sharing and collaboration, putting faces to names and deepening relationships over shared meals in some of the most striking locations… the benefits of in-person events almost write themselves. Marriott Bonvoy is now adding even more into the mix.

Simply book a meeting or event at a Marriott Bonvoy hotel or resort across Australia, New Zealand or the Pacific Islands by September 30, for stays before December 31, and you can combine the joys of in-person events with double points, bonus treats and more.

On the table through Marriott’s ‘Spark This Moment’ promotion are:

• Double Marriott Bonvoy points
• 5% off rooms master bill OR
• One complimentary room night (every 20 room nights) OR
• One free upgrade (every 20 room nights)

Igniting the SPARK – Success, Passion, Appreciation, Relationships, and Kindness – is easy through Marriott Bonvoy Events, and the benefits last long after the final goodbye.

Success through engagement

There are countless ways to ignite engagement, from speakers to presentations and group activities. Hosting an event at W Melbourne, with its fashion-forward meeting rooms and electrifying LED video wall, makes gripping presentations easy.

Passion through experiences

Once in a lifetime opportunities and events always leave a lasting impression – and the venue you choose has a big part to play, with the right setting sparking boundless creativity and ideas.

The Sheraton Fiji Golf & Beach Resort, for one, boasts an exciting mix of indoor and outdoor spaces, all set amid that picturesque tropical landscape the islands are known for. There’s plenty of opportunity for a round or two of golf as well.

Appreciation through good food and good times

Beyond the boardroom, good food and good times help forge deep connections, allowing guests to discover a new purpose and appreciation in working together. It’s the time shared, as well as the ideas created, that make a memorable event.

Enjoying a meal is one of the best icebreakers too, such as when dining at The Ritz-Carlton Perth’s Hearth Restaurant, which uses local West Australian produce to take guests on a sensory journey. It’s not only expertly-crafted but of its place, thus spurring conversation.

Renewed relationship through connections

Having guests gather – in one place – for an occasion where they can share ideas and foster a team environment is the best way to build connections and create lasting relationships.

A conference or event is an ideal place to meet those you may have only connected with online, as well as renew relationships between team members. The Westin Melbourne boasts venues with natural light, indoor and outdoor venues to suit any occasion.

Spread kindness and care

Choosing a hotel or resort which views sustainability at its core, with programs designed to reduce a host’s carbon footprint, is a great way to travel greener.

A fine example is at Sheraton Grand Mirage Resort Douglas, where the hotel’s ‘Make a Green Choice’ sustainability program allows guests to make a choice to forego daily housekeeping service in exchange for a $10 food and beverage credit.
