MCLEAN, Va.-Monday 13 July 2020 [ AETOS Wire ]
(BUSINESS WIRE) --
For more than 100 years, Hilton hotels around the world have set the
stage for the world’s most coveted and important meetings, events and
entertainment gatherings – from star-laden award shows and movie sets to
energetic political conventions, global conferences and wow-worthy
weddings. Today, that tradition continues – even at a safe distance.
To
address safe group travel practices and evolve today’s event
experience, Hilton today announced a global, industry-leading
cleanliness and customer service program specific to meetings and
events. Hilton EventReady with CleanStay is the next phase of the
company’s recently launched Hilton CleanStay and was shaped by extensive research and feedback.
“At
Hilton, we’ve always believed in the power of in-person connections and
take pride in the exceptional experiences our teams create in
partnership with event professionals,” said Chris Nassetta, President
and CEO, Hilton. “In today’s new normal, we know that people planning
and attending events of any size are focused on their health and safety.
Hilton EventReady delivers innovative solutions for the entire event
experience – from flexibility in planning and physical distancing
protocols to transparency in cleanliness policies and inspiring catering
options.”
The key tenets of the Hilton EventReady with CleanStay program include:
-
Cleanliness Protocols: The
program expands on the elevated sanitation standards of the
recently-announced Hilton CleanStay program, addressing every touch
point of the meeting experience. This includes room seals for guest and
meeting rooms, sanitizing stations in public areas and meeting spaces
and EventReady Room Checklist.
-
Book-to-Billing Flexibility: Understanding
the importance of flexibility, Hilton Teams will work hand-in-hand with
customers to align on shared objectives, providing:
-
Flexible pricing, space options and contract terms;
-
Responsive offers to meet the needs of customers, like simplified agreements for small meetings;

Hilton
EventReady Playbook, which delivers expert guidance and curated
resources for solutions, such as Hybrid Meetings that seamlessly combine
on-site attendees with those in remote locations, Room Sets and
Creative Networking.
-
Flexible pricing, space options and contract terms;
-
Safe and Socially Responsible Solutions: To
responsibly host meetings and events, Hilton Team Members will partner
with their clients to achieve the meeting’s objectives while addressing
both health and environmental concerns.
