HOTEL CONTRACT NEGOTIATION & SITE SELECTIONHelmsBriscoe offers an easy alternative to the complexity and expense of planning your next event. My principal responsibility is to research, evaluate, and present the ideal venues for meetings and events based on the client\'s specific needs. Using the CVent platform, I have the ability to expeditiously send requests for proposals (RFPs), assess responses, present best options, and manage follow-up with vendors. I have access to HelmsBriscoe\'s strong industry relationships and purchasing power which, often times, translates into more favorable availability and pricing.Acting as a liaison, I maintain professional and frequent communication with vendors in an effort to elevate performance, anticipate fluctuation, and mitigate any risk - not only saving my clients valuable time, but also eliminating last-minute changes, folio review and revisions - which often times translates into better availability and pricing. Let me do the legwork, research the hotels, and free you up to focus on what is truly important. I will see that you receive the best venue and value for your upcoming meetings at NO cost to you.
