Site Searches
- Organization’s identity kept confidential.
- Extensive domestic and international hotel sourcing.
- Sourcing of multiple cities and / or multiple countries.
- Research of all hotels, branded or independent, that fit your event needs.
- Reporting back in your hands in a few days, typically 72 hours for domestic sourcing.
- Included on the reporting – listing of all hotels sourced, availability, guestroom rates, average catering costs, distance from the airport, concessions offered, and more.
- Excellent snapshot of all options for consideration.
Rate & Concession Negotiation
- We begin by understanding what key items are most important to you.
- What has been most helpful for your organization in the past?
- What were the pain points in the past that we need to eliminate?
- We look at suites, complimentary rooms, upgrades.
- We look at your food and beverage budget. Are custom menus a good idea for your organization to lock in pricing now?
- Let the volume our organization brings to the table lead you to a robust concession offering for your organization and attendees.
Site Visit Planning & Details
- Once your short list is decided, it is time for the site visit.
- We detail the full agenda from arrival into the city through departure.
- We arrange transfers from the airport and hotels, as well as meals, city tours, and the most important piece, the hotel tour itself.
- All you need to do is pack your bag and arrive in the city. Sometimes we can even assist with arranging complimentary airfare too!
Full Contract Review & Negotiation
- With over 30 years in the industry, “We know a thing or two because we’ve seen a thing or two.” Our extensive hotel contract knowledge is all yours as we solidify the critical foundation of your event.
- We pride ourselves in providing the most current verbiage and the most coverage for our clients.
- We negotiate the document with the hotel on your behalf, so by the time you receive it for review, your best interests are already addressed.
- Possibly a custom contract is best for you. We can establish this shell so all future event venues follow this template making it easy for your review and reference as you move forward planning the event.
Vendor Assistance
- Saving money is the name of the game and we will connect you with vetted vendors for audio-visual, DMCs, transportation needs, entertainment, mobile event apps, venue branding, swag, and so much more.
- Did you know that by bidding out your audio-visual alone, it could result in a 40% savings to your organization? It’s true!
- No matter where your event will be held, local teams are the key to making an event dynamic. We have connections globally and will make sure you look amazing!
On-Site Coordination
