Hispanic Meetings & Travel 10 th Anniversary
Imagene Advertising Awards

You know they're out there; more than 47 million Hispanic consumers. But how do you reach this increasingly significant market and the thousands of meeting and events held each year. How do you get their annual conventions, board meetings, committee meetings, special events, weddings, quincenaries and business and family travel? Hispanic Meetings & Travel is building bridges and delivering messages to reach America's Hispanic consumers, who have an estimated buying power of over $900 billion annually.

In recognition of our 10 th Anniversary, Hispanic Meetings & Travel will begin an annual awards competition for effective advertising and marketing to Hispanic consumers. The Imagene Advertising Award will be presented for the best interactive advertising campaign by an advertiser in Hispanic Meetings & Travel. The awards will be announced during the annual conference of the International Association of Hispanic Meeting Professionals on December 3-7, 2008 at the Town & Country Resort and Convention Center in San Diego, California.

The Imagene Advertising Award will recognize hotels, resorts, convention centers, visitor's bureaus, airlines, cruise ships and other industry suppliers whose advertising will be chosen and reviewed by our readers for their commitment to the Hispanic Meetings & Travel Market through the pages of Hispanic Meetings & Travel magazine.

The Imagene Advertising Award winners will need to demonstrate innovation and awareness of the value of the Hispanic meetings and events market. Advertisers will need to specialize in marketing to the nation's Hispanic consumers, the youngest and most rapidly growing segment of the American population. The winners will be selected based on specific criteria that include innovation and creativity. Our rating system, allows our readers to quantify their reviews - and see how the properties stack up across all categories
