InterContinental Hotels Group Enhances "Meet with Confidence" Program

As the world adapts to new expectations and plans for responsible gatherings, InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) has enhanced its "Meet with Confidence" program to provide appropriate and creative meeting and event solutions, without compromising on the experience or the flexibility that meeting planners require. 

Prioritizing guest safety and wellbeing, while also providing flexible booking during uncertain times, "Meet with Confidence" means meeting planners and attendees can rest assured that meetings and events at participating IHG hotels worldwide will adhere to leading cleanliness and safety practices through:

  • Clutter-free event spaces configured to allow for social distancing, leveraging outdoor spaces where possible

  • Management of attendee flow with signage and staggered breaks where possible
  • Enhanced food handling and service guidelines 
  • Hand sanitizer stations throughout the meeting and event space
  • Technology solutions to support virtual and hybrid meetings
  • "Meet with Confidence" checklist and pre-event inspection with the meeting planner or onsite contact

There's also "IHG Way of Clean:" strengthened procedures throughout the hotel to redefine cleanliness and support guests’ wellbeing, from enhanced cleaning of high-touch areas to social distancing measures.

Derek DeCross, SVP, Global Sales, IHG, said the "Meet with Confidence" program applies, "whether it’s for a 10-person meeting, an intimate wedding or a virtual global conference, with more than 5,900 properties in over 100 countries.”
