Thursday, March 11, 2021

11:45 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.

Contracts are under scrutiny and it is more important than ever to be proactive in ensuring the utmost cost containment and risk reduction measures for your organization. As we navigate back to face-to-face meetings during a pandemic, there will be critical areas to address in your contracts moving forward. This workshop will arm you with tactical strategies that will help you to negotiate and defend your clauses in this evolving market. In this high-level workshop, attendees will review key contract clauses, negotiations tips and strategies on how to get to “YES” and review variables that help influence a hotels decision to accept your business.

Learning Objectives:

• Understand our current marketplace and how it affects a planners’ strategy
• Review key contract clauses and how to defend them to benefit your organizations bottom-line.
• Discuss variables that the hotels consider when reviewing your overall business value.
