It's just a fancy word for a large meeting room. Or that's how I see it. LOL

Like I said, its the matter in which you use it. Hospitality rooms are indeed sometimes used for employee meetings. What better place for city employees to have a city employee meeting than the city owned convention centers hospitality room.


But anyway, whether you say "tomato" or "tomahto," it ultimately doesn't matter because most will understand you, and while some believe it's a vegetable it's actually a fruit.

The reason you never heard those words is that what you are describing has nothing to do with hospitality suites.

Ahh yes sarcasm. The last line of defense against feeling bad about being wrong. Don’t bother to learn anything, sarcasm is so much more satisfying.

It isn’t about winning. It about correct information. Look at it through that perspective and all ego will drop away.

You also never hear the words “hospitality suites” when you are headlining comedy clubs. That is because you are just about as close to a hospitality suite when working those as you are when working the things you and Tom describe. Don’t learn something from this. Oh no. Just use sarcasm. At least you feel better that way.

An after party is just that. It is right there in the name that is how you know. A dinner for important clients after the trade show is just that. Again the name gives it all away.

In reality it sounds as if you have not done hospitality suites quite a bit. It sounds as if in reality you have done none of them.

Those dinners and after parties are great and are a market all their own. They are acquired far differently and in reality through entirely different people in the company. The person who is hiring for the suites is not the same person planning dinners. The parties can be quite lucrative. They are just an entirely different animal. Not unlike Zebras and horses.
