Washington, D.C. (April 7, 2006) � The Knowland Group announced today that it has been selected by Dolce International to provide lead generation and market intelligence services to all properties within the United States.

Dolce International, a hospitality industry heavyweight with 21 properties worldwide, including the world famous Aspen Meadows Institute in Aspen, Colorado, the Hayes Mansion in San Jose, California, the Bolger Center in Potomac, Maryland and many more, made its choice in an effort to further distinguish its specialization in the meetings niche. �We believe that Knowland will be an integral part of our sales and marketing strategy moving forward,� said Michael Quinn, Regional Director of Sales and Marketing for Dolce International. 

Signing a company of Dolce International�s size and reputation continues the string of remarkable successes experienced by The Knowland Group over the past seventeen months.  The company, founded in October of 2004, now provides services in over thirty markets to over two hundred properties.  

�Dolce represents a great strategic opportunity for us,� said Mike McKean, the firm�s managing director.  �Not only do they have a remarkable reputation in the conference center space � but they afford us the ability to expand into some unique areas, such as destination ski resorts in the intermountain west.�

Since October 2005, Knowland had provided service to one of Dolce�s premier locations in the Midwest.  After only a few months time, the director of sales became increasingly excited about their return on investment and recommended Knowland to the rest of his company.  His team had booked multiple events from new groups as a direct result of Knowland�s service.  �We�re excited to see the benefits we�ve received from Knowland repeated companywide,� said Carl Blanz, Director of Sales at the Oak Ridge Conference Center in Chaska Minnesota.
