No Cost Site Selection Assistance

We promise not only to save you time and money, but also to secure for you the very best hospitality services. Because we book thousands of events worldwide each year, we’ve built solid international industry relationships. These associations are most beneficial when it comes time to negotiate. And because hotels compensate us directly, there is no cost to you for these Site Selection Assistance services.  Our booking volume also positions us for many more FAM trip invitations, and industry networking opportunities.

No Cost Hotel Contract Negotiation Assistance

Because we book a broad range of hotels/resorts and brands, ConferenceDirect has developed pre-negotiated hotel contract terms and conditions with most major hotel chains and independents. With extensive industry experience, product knowledge & worldwide representation on your side, ConferenceDirect will enhance your ability to contract favorable concessions (above-and-beyond the “industry standard”) and help you make the best deal possible. Hotel Contract Negotiation Services are provided at NO COST to you!
