the InterContinental Los Angeles.

and banquet departments. Following his move to the United States,
he spent more than eight years with the Marriott and Hilton brands,
holding management positions in room operations and events and sales,
where he has focused his the past five years.

In 2007 and 2010, Megrikian was awarded Manager of the Year from
the Warner Center Marriott. In 2008, he successfully completed the
Certified Meeting Professional exam and acquired the designation
of CMP.

Megrikian joined the InterContinental Los Angeles team in February 2011
as a senior sales manager. Recently, during an extended absence of a
director of sales and marketing, he stepped into the role and became
an instrumental part of the management team. Working closely with the
Los Angeles and United States tourism boards, Megrikian helped the
property reach record numbers for both leisure and business bookings.

In addition to his role at InterContinental Los Angeles, Megrikian
serves as co-chair of Site (Society of Incentive Travel Executives)
Young Leaders program, which brings together future leaders of the
incentive and meetings industries.
