[quote]I am very happy with the way the evening turned out. The exposure for so many new people in the hospitality industry to discover the Schulz Museum was wonderful. Our staff had a chance to meet many new businesses and their key people, I’m looking forward to continuing to build relationships thru Canvas, we’re so happy we we’re able to help host this event. ~ Renee Donmon, Charles M. Schulz Museum[/quote]

Our panel of expert hospitality professionals helped to educate our guests as to what exactly it takes to get on the radar screen and on the itineraries of the concierges and tour guides from Sonoma County, Napa Valley and San Francisco….

Co-Sponsored by The Luxury Marketing Council of San Francisco and the Sonoma County Vintner’s Association, “Gatekeepers” provided a panel of key decision makers right in front of our guests to talk about the important trends they are seeing from behind the wheel and behind the desk. They also gave the opportunity to the audience to ask what influences the decisions critical to growing their businesses.

[quote]I had a great time at the Gatekeepers event. So many of my clients and friends are part of CANVAS that is a delight to get out and socialize with them at such wonderful venues and on top of it be informed on new ideas and better education of our local concierge needs. I appreciate you allowing ATL to be part of the Shultz. Sylvia Parkinson, General Manager, ATL Events. Inc[/quote]
