It has never been a challenge to get a large group of Hotel Concierges and hospitality affiliates to start talking about their love and passion for the industry. The people they have met, the memories they have made and the moments that made them fall in love with their profession ooze out of their personalities.
What can be a challenge is engaging and encouraging this same group of professionals to spread their inexcusable high standards, passion and love of the industry. That is what I feel Dr. Bryan Williams spoke of to our organization at the 12th Annual National Congress, nestled in the beautiful Canadian Rocky Mountains, in the Fairmont Banff Springs, earlier in February.
Dr. Williams grabbed our attentions right form the beginning, with his bright smile and welcoming personality. He drew us into his world of excellence, and we enjoyed every crispy minute of it.

Les Clefs d’Or Canada’s 12th National Congress Banff was an opportunity of a lifetime. The congress brought together over 100 Les Clefs d’Or Concierges from coast to coast. The Majestic Fairmont Banff Springs hosted all of these professionals and the sponsors who made this congress possible.
Les Clefs d’Or Alberta Region went above and beyond to give us the best experience. Every detail was covered from the moment we arrived at the airport and were greeted by our lovely concierge Jill Marven from the Fairmont Palliser Hotel who escorted us to the Banff Airporter. Upon arrival at the Fairmont Banff Springs, we were welcomed in our rooms with detailed welcome bags that contained information on the congress, gifts, treats, maple syrup, macaroons, fudge and a gift from Park Distillery.
The week was filled with many unforgettable memories; the welcoming reception, educational sessions, Banff Gondola, outdoor activities, bowling at High Rollers, the Annual General Meeting and our Gala Night.
We had the pleasure of connecting with many wonderful motivational speakers on Day 2 of our Educational breakout sessions.
