Site Research and Selection
First we listen to your aims, needs and wishes with regard to your meeting. With these details in hand (including estimated number of attendees, any preferred localities, program and presentation requirements) we commence the site search process, and create a professional and clearly understood picture of the best alternatives for you.

Rest assured we will not only research every possible option for you, but will handle all aspects of the site inspection process on your behalf. Knowing and using a wide range of venues not only enables us to choose the right site for your meeting, but assists us in acquiring the most favorable rates.

Contract Review and Negotiation
The bedrock of any meeting or event are the financials, most especially the budget document. You have a choice; you can either give us a total final figure and we will devise our best plan for that amount; or, tell us what you'd like to accomplish through this meeting and we'll give you a budget figure that will achieve your goal.

Either way we naturally keep a tight reign on the budget. We closely monitor all expenses and prepare a final report - so there are no ugly surprises at the end, such as overruns and unaccounted expenses.

Budget Analysis and Management
It's all about a smooth meeting for you, completely free of pain. We take full charge of the preparation, review and negotiation of contracts with the firms and companies who provide all the supportive services.

One advantage we have, which we naturally turn to your advantage, is a long list of great suppliers and agents, with whom we have had extremely successful ventures. Utilizing them to the full not only eases the minutiae of budget analysis and management, but saves you time and money.

Rest assured that we only choose people who perform to the same high standards as we do - that is people we thoroughly trust.

Registration of Attendees
This critical task is not just about supervising the door, gathering up forms and handing out name tags. It is much more than that. It's about keeping a closer than close eye out for all the little things that can go wrong (whenever you least want them to) and proactively moving to solve things before they either happen or cause problems.

And of course, we do the ordinary things like checking people in, handing out badges, packs and so on, supplying items and presenting you with a final report. We are constantly checking and rechecking that your image and interests are being presented in the best possible light at all times.

VIP Care
We offer high level VIP Care that ensures that every last detail is considered when dealing with the all-important VIP. As part of this care, we offer our nation-wide experience in dealing in the appropriate manner with formal protocols. We are well aware that too many events have been spoiled by insufficient or inappropriate protocols when dealing with these officials.

Travel and Transportation Needs
Cost effective as well as time effective transportation is a crucial part of a successful meeting. Making sure arrivals and departures are timely and trouble free is part of the package. But the individuals' preferences also need to be catered for - and we ensure this is all organized on your behalf. We'll meet your participants, take them where they wish to go or even simply tell them where to park!

And let's not forget that warm welcome for your participants - we're there to give that as well.

On-site Management
Appropriate on-site management is often the main reason that a meeting works or doesn't work. We have that invaluable skill and ability to anticipate bottle-necks - it is a by-product of our experience. It's simple, but not easy. We are proactive and often anticipate problems before they occur but when they do, our savvy staff and house management iron out any mishaps in the minimum of time.

Of course there are many facets to managing the venue; including setting the theme and environment, checking on every detail and assuming fiscal responsibility. All those things that can take all the pleasure out of the event for the hosts. We ensure that doesn't happen to you.

We implement the plan and use our extensive experience to accommodate the unexpected. It's the only way to go.

Reporting and wrap-up
Rest assured your every need will be satisfied, every question answered and you will be absolutely sure that you have every single bit of information made available that is necessary for you the analyze the effectiveness of your event.

This of course includes designing questionnaires, administering surveys, collecting, collating and analyzing that data, and then delivering to you any suggestions that will assist in improving your next meeting or event.

You need to remember that running successful meetings and conferences etc and creating the right atmosphere is a skill built up over time. So your meetings are sure to improve year by year with the proper planning.
