Meeting and Event Planning
You can use us for ANY of the following services which will then free up your time for your real important work:
PROGRAM DESIGN
You can ask us to plan out what you want to accomplish in the meeting, to set goals for subsessions, arrive at resources that you will need, help you decide what kind of presentations, speakers, activities, motivational events will be needed and what steps need to be taken to make your meeting a success.
We can also plan out the space requirements, and provide budget scenarios.
LOCATION SEARCH
LOCATION We have thousands of properties in our databases and can access them through direct computer linkup. We locate the top sites that fit your requirements and your budget, negotiate space and costs and then deliver to you a site report. On crucial meetings we do site visits. This report will include property descriptions, availability dates, cost information, area information, transportation information and anything else that may impact your decision. Then we reserve site, including equipment needed for you.
HOTEL, CAR, AIR, RESERVATIONS & COORD.
This can really be a time consuming task for a medium or small company. We will arrange all logistics for getting to the meeting, including creating fliers for all participants, providing itineraries for everyone, provide transfer, lodging, flight and other needed information. You can also count on us to provide information and bookings on side trips, tours or other after-meeting activities.
We can even provide a TOLL-FREE number, a special WEB PAGE, or a special E-mail address to participants for event/meeting issues, questions, logistics. This can relieve you or your staff from having to hassle with any details and focus on what you are good at.
SEMINAR LEADERS & KEYNOTES
SPEAKERS, Large and small companies use us to give seminars, training sessions or to locate qualified people for their events. Our parent company, PowerBusiness Associates Inc. conducts hundreds of seminars yearly to divisions of Coca Cola, Avon, Ericsson, Unilever, Best Foods, Toshiba and many other companies. We can help you plan out a complete off-site training program or locate that one speaker that will light up your sales meeting.
ON-SITE COORDINATION
You may want us to have a staff there on-site to coordinate travel, meeting and tour arrangements during your event. We can set up hospitality desks and full computer registration process. We can inspect and monitor catering, facilities and transportation as well as aditional tours and trips.
