Strategic Meeting Management

With Strategic Meeting Management you will take a closer look at expenditure in the field of meetings and events. These expenditures amount on average to 25-40% of the total travel budget of an organization, but around 70% of the companies have no insight into the total expenditures in this area. Strategic Meeting Management includes gaining insight, realizing and optimizing meeting and events policies and guidelines to realize cost and time savings.

Insight

The lack of insight is mainly due to the fragmented way in which companies organize their meetings and events; often through different departments, business units and organizational layers. Consider for example the board and management meetings, the training meetings, the sales incentives, the product launches and other relationship events.

The first step with regard to Strategic Meeting Management is to make an inventory of the scope and costs of your meetings and events program. Conference Line helps you collect, analyze and benchmark (compare) information in the areas of:

What kind of meetings and events does your company organize?
Which processes are used in the organization of meetings and events?
Which suppliers are used?
How much do you spend on meetings and events?
Consolidation, reporting & control

The second step to increase effectiveness is to get a grip on your meetings and events through consolidation and reporting. By placing all meetings and events with one organizing party, you get clear management information to gain insight into basic data such as numbers, type, costs and savings.

Implementation, savings & program optimization. With extensive reports and years of knowledge of processes, Conference Line can issue advice, design meetings and events policy, realize savings, optimize programs and you get control over your expenses.
