ConferenceDirect
ConferenceDirect is a full service meeting planning company that assists organizations in saving both time and money on their conferences and meetings. We do this through our site selection and contract negotiation services which are at no cost to you!
Our clients include organizations in virtually every industry. More than 1,100 clients rely on our industry know-how to help ensure that all details of their meeting or convention are handled smoothly, efficiently, and within budget. Currently, we represent over 1.7 million group room nights in buying power and successfully negotiate more than 4,970 contracts each year. Take a look at some of our client testimonials.
Perhaps the best news of all is that our most requested service—site selection and contract negotiations—is provided at absolutely no cost to you. The hotels and service partners that we represent pay us a set commission for bringing you to them. Our other services (ie: Housing & Registration, Conference Management) are provided at extremely competitive rates—and will save you time and money.
Top Reasons to Use ConferenceDirect for your next Conference or Meeting:
• We have pre-negotiated contracts with hotels so where we begin negotiating is where most companies finish their negotiation.
• Cost Savings Reports – We provide this for each event so you can see exactly how much we saved you.
• Pricing Intelligence – We can see all the rate history and pertinent details for hotels you’re looking at thus getting you the best rate possible!
• We can give you back 10-15 hours per week so you have more time to focus on the big picture!
• We’re a single point of contact – instead of sending out RFP’s to 10-15 different hotels, NSO’s (National Sales Office) and CVB’ (Convention & Visitors Bureaus), you would send it to one source and still have access to all those same venues.
• We’re an extension of your meeting planning team that is already trained, ready to go and you don’t have to pay!
• Strong Negotiating Power – We’ve worked on the hotel side and can be your inside consultant getting results and better contract terms for you!
• Last but definitely not least: This is at no cost to you or your organization!
