Conventions, expositions, and meetings are a big industry in
the United States . They contribute well over $100 billion
to the gross domestic national product. In many instances, they
are the single largest revenue contributor to an association’s
resources. We assist our association partners in delivering successful
meetings both substantively and financially. Attention to detail
is essential in the development and management of a successful
meeting. Working closely with the volunteer leaders, Partners
provides a blue print to address successful meeting planning
and management as follows:
- Constructing an effective program;
- Identifying the best format for delivery;
- Building a budget;
- Selecting the appropriate location and properties;
- Assisting the association with all food and beverage guarantees
and functions;
- Inspecting the site as needed;
- Reviewing and executing contracts favorable to the association;
- Arranging all specialized services;
- Marketing the program or meeting and developing all print
materials;
- Identify needed risk management and security;
- Providing on-site management fulfillment;
- Evaluating the outcome.
Nothing is overlooked in Partners stewardship of your flagship
programs. In many instances, meetings and conventions are the
only places where your membership will interact with the association
leaders and staff. It has to be the very best! Our staff is certified
in meeting development, and we work in partnership with high
quality tradeshow and registration management firms that can
facilitate meetings of up to 16,000 individuals.
