Ten steamiest meeting places
New York City topped the list when the Canadian Globe and Mail asked a business panel to rate the ten best cities for business meetings and “blowing off steam.”
“Sure, it’s expensive and tricky to get in and out of through delay-prone JFK, LaGuardia or Newark airports, but despite its foibles and because of its fabulousness, New York gets the nod as best for business in 2011,” the paper says.
Denver was another city, praised for its central location and cheap flights into Denver International, as well as its hotels within walking distance of the Colorado Convention Center.
Other top cities include Sao Paulo, a “business friendly” city; Istanbul, Mumbai; London; Los Angeles; New Orleans; Shenzhen and Nashville, where “flooding last May left too many damaged buildings to count and nearly destroyed Nashville’s signature Grand Ole Opry House. But the show goes on in the newly renovated Opry.”
