 Greetings!
Spring has sprung in the deserts of Arizona! From Tucson to Phoenix and Scottsdale the sun is shining and you can hear the crack of a baseball bat, the roar of the crowd and the excitement that is "Spring Training"!
Whether your group is looking for a fun outdoor event, a creative indoor theme, or transportation from the airport or around town, we look forward to the opportunity to be your destination expert in Arizona.

Meet Hillary Hollister
Account Executive
Hillary Hollister grew up in sunny Scottsdale, AZ. She went away to college in North Carolina (UNC Charlotte)on a tennis scholarship and ended up living there for 11 years in total (she misses the sweet tea and BBQ!). After college she did a lot of traveling, one of her passions in life, and went on some amazing trips. Her favorite trip was to Africa where she climbed Kilimanjaro and went on a safari. She started working at Southwest Conference Planners after moving back home to Scottsdale 3 years ago and LOVES her job. Her hobbies include golf and cooking, and at the moment - wedding planning! She is getting married on April 18th and will head to Australia & New Zealand for her honeymoon.
Hillary is an Account Executive handling sales for accounts based in the Southeastern USA. You can contact her at 480-609-5309 or hhollister@swcp.net |
