HOLDING A MEETING IN THE CITY OF "ALL RIGHT" SEEMS TO BE PERFECTLY ALL RIGHT BY SOLOMON J. HERBERT II In the heart of the Caribbean Sea lies the third largest island in the region, Jamaica. With six world-class resort areas, the island of "All Right" is one of the top destinations in the world. Be a part of the hustle of the capital city, Kingston, taking in the rich culture. Or enjoy the laid-back beauty of serene Negril. Montego Bay, Jamaica's second largest city, will win you over with world- class accommodation and immaculate golf courses, and in Ocho Rios, you'll never find yourself short of excitement. Small intimate communities, rustic, com- fortable inns and fresh produce are images conjured by the island's South Coast. Finally, make Port Antonio a pri- ority, where you can lose yourself in the original island daydream. Jamaica isn't just an island of relax- ation and beauty, but also the perfect environment to kick-start your business conference, in a positive and dynamic way. The island is fully equipped with numerous venues to hold your event as well as an abundant assortment of lodg- ing options, allowing you to focus on hosting the best meeting possible. With its ocean front location and breathtaking views, the Montego Bay Convention Centre offers one of the most beautiful settings in the world.

Each conference room is equipped with simultaneous translation facilities for six languages, Conference Room #1, the largest, capa- ble of accommodating up to 1,200 per- sons, has an observers' gallery, public and press galleries.
