What started in hotel representation in 1986, grew into global relationships, site selection, event support and a business connected across the meetings and events ecosystem.
We continue to evolve, but our passion for bringing people together and the way we believe business should be done remains the same.
Prestige opened its first Minneapolis office as Prestige Resorts & Hotels.
Our roots gave us an early understanding of the hotel side of the business and something that still shapes us today: good business starts with knowing the people behind it.
Prestige expanded globally, building international DMC relationships and broader access to destinations and partners.
Our network grew and so did our perspective.
Meetings were becoming more complex, and clients needed support that extended beyond finding the right place.
Prestige developed a formal outsourcing strategy, expanding how we could support programs and deepening the partnerships behind them.
Prestige Resorts & Hotels became Prestige | Global Meeting Source, reflecting a business that had grown across the meetings and events landscape.
The name changed because the work had already changed.
Prestige acquired GMI, bringing senior event talent in-house and adding greater operational depth to our event capabilities.
It was another step toward meeting clients wherever they needed us.
When the meetings industry changed overnight, we changed with it.
Prestige expanded virtual capabilities and strategic production partnerships, strengthened our teams and kept finding new ways to move meetings forward.
Prestige expanded its executive leadership to bring greater focus to long-term growth, alignment and the continued evolution of the business.
Not to change what made Prestige work, but to build on it.
Four decades later, the business looks very different from where it began.
Today, Prestige brings together site selection, Event Solutions, strategic partnerships and industry experiences, backed by relationships built across decades.
