Services We Provide

Budgeting and Contract Negotiations

One of the most important aspects of conference management is getting the most for your money, while meeting all your needs. We can help!

Catering Arrangements

We can guide you through the catering maze of do's and don't's. The success of a conference can hinge on the success of the catering.

Conference Reports

A database will be created to handle the reporting needs of your group. Participant lists, breakout requests, tour groups, are just some of the reports you may request. If it is on your registration form, then it is in our database.

Consulting

We answer your questions about conference requirements, budgets and management.

Itemized Accounting

At the conclusion of your conference, after we pay your bills and the registration and sponsorships have been collected, we will produce a final accounting report detailing your total income and expenses.

Name Tags

We produce professional name tags featuring your group's logo and any information important to the group, such as banquet, tour or breakout info. We also include their name and affiliation in print large enough to actually read!

On Site Management and Registration

While you are busy attending your conference, we are busy handling all of the on-site details. We make you look good!

Registration Fee Collection and Payment of Expenses

We collect and deposit your registration and sponsorship monies and process payments for your conference expenses. You receive the final accounting and residual balance after the conference has been balanced.

Room Reservations

Do you need a block of rooms for the entire group, or just for yourself and the speakers? We can make the arrangement for either set.

Specialized Tour Arrangements

We can assist with educational participant tours as well as fun excursions for spouses. We will make arrangements for tours to hit your target audience.
