A Passion for Travel, People and Life
About The EPIC Family
“I have a passion for hotels and the travel industry. There’s nothing better than being able to leverage years spent in this business, in order to help our clients. Our team is able to negotiate and protect our clients better than any meetings & incentives company in the industry, and I am very proud of this fact.”
Andy Meltz
CEO, EPIC INTERNATIONAL
Andy Meltz began EPIC International, more than 20 years ago, for one simple reason; he
understood his clients deserved an even better experience.
After enjoying a robust career as a sales and marketing executive with hospitality powerhouses including Fairmont and Starwood, Andy recognized a need on the client side that included, almost more than anything else, the chance for his clients to be well represented while forging agreements with hotels.
His extensive background in hospitality, combined with relationships spanning nearly every facet of the business, are the primary reasons he began EPIC, and why the company is still thriving today.
Originally from Appleton, Wisconsin, Andy nows splits his time between Scottsdale, Arizona,
and Vail, Colorado, where he lives with his wife and two sons. Andy is an avid golfer, and also
enjoys skiing, diving, and climbing some of the world's tallest mountains.
“As an industry, a means of transportation, or as a personal pastime, travel touches nearly every aspect of our lives. We travel to get where we need to go or to simply feel alive. There are few industries as ubiquitous, or that require as much precision to operate safely. I can’t imagine immersing myself, professionally, in any other line of business."
