When it comes to meetings and events what’s often missing is a sense that anything is amiss. Many planners look at meetings as one-off projects, while most financial executives have limited visibility into the actual scope of the overall meetings expense.

This is your opportunity to take a more strategic approach.

Join our panel of experts for this eye-opening web seminar on Strategic Meetings Management to discover how you can better control your corporate-wide meetings spend without losing the very real strategic value of your most important meetings and events.

During this session, Bill Browning, a strategic sourcing and spend analyst from Aberdeen Group, and Betsy Bondurant, a meeting management consultant, will discuss:

  • Key components of a Strategic Meeting Management Program
  • Uncovering Fragmented and Hidden Corporate Meeting Data
  • Leveraging Spend, Implementing Strategic Sourcing
  • Controlling Spend and Increasing Compliance
  • Data Analysis, Key Performance Indicators, and Reporting

The meetings and events category of spend is very large and very decentralized. According to recent Aberdeen survey data, meeting spend can account for up to 2.6% of a corporation’s revenue. There is an immediate need to understand the scope of your enterprise-wide meeting spend so that it can be better managed and reduced.
