Monterey, California has been known for a plethora of notable distinctions: an abundant and
vibrant fishing community, a haven for distinguished painters, a magnet for writers like John Steinbeck, Henry
Miller and Robert Louis Stevenson, and, once dubbed the "Language Capitol of the World", Monterey has been a major
epicenter for interpretation and translation service training. It is also known as one of the most stunning
vistas in the world where the land, sea and sky meet. Now, on December 10 – 11, Monterey will be home to the
CMO Summit. Having hosted the event in years past, the CMO Council is pleased to return to the Monterey Plaza
Hotel and Spa.
Dramatically perched over the Monterey Bay, this world-class resort offers the perfect
vantage point to enjoy the gentle sounds of the surf, fresh scent of sea air and the sight of otters at play.
The Monterey Plaza sits in the heart of Cannery Row, once the thriving fishery, now the bustling entertainment
center of Monterey. You can launch an ocean kayak from the Hotel's beach, or simply sit back on the sweeping
deck of the hotel and watch those kayakers do all the work for you, the choice is yours. The hotel features
290 deluxe guest rooms, including 10 suites. The property also boasts a full service spa and fitness centerfor
those who indulge in a round of golf at one of the 19 nearby champion courses or scuba dive in the protected
waters of the Monterey Bay marine sanctuary.
The CMO Council has secured exclusive rates as low as $169.00 per night at the Monterey Plaza
Hotel & Spa. To make your reservations, please
reserve online or call 800.334.3999 and reference the "Chief Marketing Officer Council" event. Room rates
range from $169 for inland views to $269 for dramatic ocean views. Rooms will book early, so we encourage you to
reserve your space as soon as possible.
