Corporate Conference Planning and Management Resources

Conference Resources

TheAustinGroup’s approach combines extensive professional expertise with internal market analysis.  The firm’s proprietary software compares per person pricing, furnishes real-time RevPAR figures, and benchmarks previous “Best Offers” received on behalf of its clients to assure that its clients receive exceptional value.  The firm maintains the most up-to-date information on new services and facilities, special offers, availability, contract provisions, and special pricing at hotels and resorts worldwide. 

TheAustinGroup's services ensure conformity to the individual travel policies, risk management profiles, legal requirements, Sarbanes-Oxley provisions, and Pharma Codes of the client companies that it represents.

Innovative Solutions

TheAustinGroup serves as the meeting planner's sole source supplier and advocate in the initial planning and procurement process, customizing its efforts to meet the individual needs of each meeting planner. 

Efficiency

The firm’s professionals are able to provide clients with preferred rates and availability at any suitable destination and hotel within 24 hours of receiving the assignment (72 hours for international projects).

In most cases, clients enjoy the consulting and procurement services of TheAustinGroup at no charge, as subscriber and transaction fees are paid to the firm by selected vendors according to previously negotiated guidelines. Thus, no single meeting event or organization pays a premium to use the firm’s services, and TheAustinGroup continues to maximize buying volume and transactional research to produce better arrangements for meeting planner clients. 

In essence, the use of TheAustinGroup’s services enables association and corporate meeting planners to save time and money by outsourcing the most difficult and time-consuming part of the planning process to the firm’s experts, saving save between 15-30% more overall in reduced meeting expenditures than realized by their own previous best efforts.
