Associations
Not every meeting planner understands the intricacies and nuances of working with Associations and the meetings and conferences they hold. Working with volunteer boards of directors and volunteer staff requires careful consideration. No one has time for two careers and your event will add a significant burden to your volunteer staff. Prestige Accommodations understands this and puts systems in place to keep the event moving forward while lightening the burden on volunteers. Non-Profit groups have unique financial requirements. Our experience with these types of organizations has trained us to meet these unique financial needs. Associations require special attention and a deep understanding of their needs.
At Prestige Accommodations we have built a reputation for excellence in serving associations of many different types and specialties. Over our 30-year history we have been a business partner to non-profit groups nationwide, helping to put on many Association events. This experience allows us to act as an information hub between organizations so groups can share ideas and concepts to improve their own events. This information exchange often leads to new revenue streams or an increase in existing revenue sources. Additionally, we have a complete understanding of the unique needs of specialty associations such as scientific meetings that require a call for papers/abstracts, platform sessions, poster sessions, symposia and more.
As with all of our clients, Prestige lends its knowledge, experience and leverage to Association clients in order to secure contracts that help make the Association more profitable, protect the group's interests and secure meaningful concessions. Our significant contacts within the hospitality industry translate into better pricing and service for our Association clients. We offer knowledgeable food and beverage planning, which includes price negotiation, menu development, and guarantees which will add to the bottom line. Your Association deserves the best possible facility at the best possible price. That is what Prestige Accommodations delivers.
I'm glad they're on MY side! Great negotiators. Wonderful problem solvers. Masters of the on-site. Extremely well respected by the hotels/convention centers/suppliers that we work with.
