I've visited the JW Marriott Desert Ridge on a handful of occasions for dinner, happy hour, and swimming. This week I attended my first event in their conference space. I was really impressed with the size of the conference center. I loved that thru the very large open hallways there were lots of tables with chairs and workspace so people could still attend to their personal needs outside of sessions. When I entered the facility a large conference was taking place and hosting a buffet lunch in the open hallways. Even with this very active buffet there was plenty of room for moving around. I made my way to the second floor where my meeting was being hosted. The room was setup with a U shape table and AV equipment on the right side and our lunch buffet setup for about 40 participants on the left side. The staff was very helpful and paid great attention to the fact that this was a working lunch. They worked in an out to pick up plates so quietly, which helped keep the meeting flow going. I would absolutely love to attend another event at this venue.
