Destination and Site Selection: Rates-Dates-Space to the Power of 10

When it comes to destination and site selection, it's the details that matter. 

Business event planners need to think beyond the basic "dates, rates and space" information to create an RFP that yields a more complete proposal, including considerations such as accessibility, travel time, cost and air lift (number of flights to destinations’ airport/s), and venue availability. The less complete the RFP, the greater the proposal details may be lacking, resulting in incomplete contracts and even more problems later. 

Join Meetings Today and veteran meeting consultant Joan Eisenstodt for this free one-hour webinar. Joan will provide some of the RFP elements provided to her clients that lead to more thorough contracts and planning. 

By participating in this webinar, attendees will be able to: 

  • Understand the basics of effective destination and site selection
  • Heighten awareness of resources, in addition to DMOs (aka CVBs), to inform destination and site searches, inspections, decisions and contracting
  • Gain confidence to overcome objections to thorough RFPs and the requirement for thorough proposals. 


Joan encourages you to connect with her on LinkedIn or by email (joanleisenstodt@gmail.com) to tell her where you’ve been stuck during destination and site selection process and what you fear, or learned too late you should have asked, and areas you’d like her to cover and why in the webinar. Joan will do her best to incorporate what you need.
