Register for the 2021 CLFMI Summer Meeting Below
July 20 – 23, 2021 Equinox Resort Manchester Village, VT.
The 2021 CLFMI Summer Meeting will be one of the most unique and important meetings in CLFMI history. In addition to being part of our belated CLFMI 60th Anniversary Celebration year, the meeting will be the first since the industry (and the world!) has had to deal with the Coronavirus crisis. Members will be able to get an update on industry conditions, economic outlooks, legal and human resource issues, and other long-lasting effects of the virus. In addition, attendees take away information and tools to team with CLFMI to not only assist the industry to regain its momentum but to also make new inroads into several critical markets.
THE LOCATION
The Equinox is located in Manchester Village VT.
The town, which was founded in 1761, is located @ 62 miles (75-80 minutes) from the well-connected Albany International Airport. The Resort does not have a shuttle service, but rental cars and other ground transportation options are available at the Albany Airport.
The Resort is located at the top of Main Street and provides an easy (downhill) walk into the main village. The walk back – not so easy (uphill) but great exercise. Take your time and enjoy the shops and attractions along the way.
THE RESORT
CLFMI returns to one of the most beautiful and iconic hotels in the region, The Equinox Resort. Summer Home to the family of Abraham Lincoln, the Equinox combines historic grandeur with modern comforts. The Resort is located in the quaint and delightful town of Manchester Village. CLFMI members can enjoy the nearby mountains like Stratton and Bromley or indulge in a day of shopping at the nearby Manchester Outlets. The Equinox offers an amazing array of onsite activities, including the Land Rover Experience Driving School, Orvis Fly Fishing and Shooting Schools, an on-property golf course, and a fabulous spa.
MEETING ATTIRE
Business casual is the universal attire for CLFMI Summer Meetings. Dress for the Thursday activity is casual. Daytime temperatures will be warm (low 80’s) but evenings in can be cool (50’s) so be sure to pack sweaters, sweat shirts, etc.
Sleeping Room Reservations:
The Equinox is offering a special CLFMI rate of $189 per night for weeknights (Mon-Th) and $299 for Friday and Saturday nights. In order to get these rates, you must identify yourself as part of the CLFMI group.
Reservations are being taken via phone at 802-362-7806 or online at CLFMI Summer Meeting-Equinox.
Note: If you are staying either/or Friday or Saturday night(s), remember that Friday and Saturday rates are different than the weeknight rates so the per night cost on the reservation will include that differential.
