Contracts, Communication & Collaboration: A 360° Perspective

In today’s events landscape, success depends on more than just favorable contract terms — they rely on strong relationships. Hear from an experienced meeting planner, a third-party contract guru and a hotel director of sales as they share how mutual understanding and transparency can lead to smoother negotiations and stronger outcomes.

From initial RFPs to final negotiations, our panelists will share insights on how to approach contracts in a way that supports mutual goals, reduces risk, and builds trust. Topics will include setting realistic expectations, navigating concessions, protecting priorities on both sides, and working through common sticking points. Attendees will walk away with actionable strategies to create more productive partnerships that lead to better outcomes for all stakeholders.

 

Learning Objectives:

  • Apply relationship-building strategies that foster mutual understanding and transparency during contract negotiations.
  • Evaluate contract terms that balance mutual goals while managing risk for both parties.
  • Develop actionable strategies for resolving common contract sticking points and building productive partnerships
