Pirman�s extensive experience in business development includes expertise in software and multimedia development, a resource that Foy says will be key in the months ahead. According to Foy, Pirman will be instrumental in the launch of EliteMeetings.net v.2, a redesigned and newly enhanced version of the company�s planning database of high-end hotels and resorts for meetings. He will also play a key role in the much-anticipated debut of EliteMeetings.tv slated for 2008. 

Along with developing many more useful tools for corporate planners, Foy says, �Brad�s contributions will surely result in additional exposure for both our company and the elite properties we endorse,� he says. 

�It�s an exciting time to join the company,� Pirman says. �I�m eager to apply my skills to the wide array of cutting-edge products we�ve got planned for development over the next few months. I look forward to contributing to the increased success of such a dynamic and innovative company,� he adds.

Along with the relaunch of EliteMeetings.net and the debut of EliteMeetings.tv, the company reports plans for two new editions of Elite Meetings magazine, the first covering Latin America�s luxury properties, the second covering Europe�s.
