Break out of the meeting room, Fairmont offers meetings the wireless way.

Whether It's Laptops, Tablets or PDAs - Wireless Technology Breaks Down Borders for Groups.

For your next meeting or group function consider a different kind of networking that's fast, fun and fluid - a wireless meeting at a Fairmont. Whether it's a break-out session in the hotel's courtyard, an informal gathering in the resort's lounge or a large-scale gathering in an on-site function area, planners are restrained only by their imagination when creating an exciting program.

Planners know that Fairmont, a digital leader in the hospitality marketplace, offers wireless access in public areas and meeting rooms across the company's 42 properties. What they may not know is that they have the freedom to move things out of the "bored" room, and take things to the great outdoors! Fairmont, through a combination of portable and stationary wireless "hotspots" capable of supporting the Internet needs of simultaneous users, now offers almost-unlimited options for meeting locations.

After all, Fairmont hotels are located in the heart of their destinations, surrounded by natural beauty and bustling city life - why not take advantage of the scenery and also allow delegates to relax, regroup and refocus. For example, after morning presentations at The Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise, scheduled to open its new $65 million meeting facility in June 2004, planners could easily move the afternoon's agenda outdoors and allow attendees to take in the heart-stopping views of the surrounding Rocky Mountains while finishing the day's business. Meeting in a warmer clime? Guests of The Fairmont Scottsdale Princess can take advantage of the property's poolside wireless hotspot, perfect for that break when attendees get caught up on work. At the Fairmont Orchid, attendees can meet in a lush Hawaiian garden - stress-free and offering an abundance of natural beauty to stimulate creativity.

In addition to offering the security and reliability of an end-to-end Cisco based network for seamless connectivity, Fairmont also offers great features. Planners can now bundle together the costs of both wired and wireless Internet services on one bill with specially designed group access codes, so attendees don't need to worry about separate in-room charges. In addition, Fairmont recognizes that traveling presents technology challenges - from compatibility issues to having the correct equipment. A variety of technology services offered by Fairmont mean that planners and attendees have access to a 24/7 technical support hotline manned by the company's own IT department as well as on-site staff to assist during all steps of a function.
