Description

Like Expedia, Travelocity, and Orbitz are to packaging hotel rooms with airfare and car rentals, “Meeting Planners” are experts with packaging your hotel with convention events and trade shows. Like Expedia, Travelocity and Orbitz, “Meeting Planners” can bring a substantial level of revenue to your property.


Your HSMAI Los Angeles team recognizes this and in this month’s event we present to you a series of best practices and best methods to “manage” this revenue source, “Meeting Planners” for maximum productivity.  Whether your “meeting planners” are “in house” or contracted outside service providers, they are an asset; an asset that when managed effectively can contribute to you bottom line success.


We have brought together a panel of experts on this topic that will discuss all the opportunities and hazards of organized meetings and the events that go along with them. How to determine that “best fit” for your property; how to manage you resources so you get the best fit with the least amount of effort; IE: which RFPs make the best sense, how to manage them, how to be selective, develop a relationship, and bring the “best fit” back to your property again and again.


As we approach the time of year when convention events and meeting are the mainstay of our market, this is information you can take to the bank! You can’t afford to miss this highly targeted educational event!
