PROST Phoenix-Scottsdale is an exclusive membership organization that allows for hospitality networking. Our mission is to foster and promote friendship, goodwill and understanding among executives of the travel industry as well as developing new, mutually beneficial business relationships.
The original PROST was established in Los Angeles in 1976, named after the German word for Cheers! Over the years Orange County, Palm Desert, San Diego and Las Vegas created their own variation of PROST and although each organization runs separately, the objective and mission are similar.
Our members only events meet the first Friday of every month at various locations in Phoenix and Scottsdale.
