HOTEL NEGOTIATIONS AND ROOM BLOCK MANAGEMENT

Based on our many years in the Austin market and our excellent relations with hotels, we are in a position to secure rooms at the most popular properties in peak demand periods... even if you local inquiries at home have not met with success.

Don’t forget that, while your are not at home, we are. We know when hotels are more heavily booked. We know when it is warmer, we know when it is the rainy season... WE KNOW.

Should your meeting require it, we can function as your Central Housing Bureau. We also have the capability to process registration fees and provide you with the necessary registration lists: by hotel, by arrival dates, by alphabetical delegate names, etc.

Allow us to assist you with convenient contractual negotiations, deposit schedules, cancellation policies and guaranteed rates and room blocks as well as the registration and administration regarding your lodging needs. This convenience allows you to maximize the contractual concessions and also frees you to concentrate more on your meeting content.

COMMUNICATIONS EQUIPMENT

Your choice for communication equipment is a vital component of your program.  Without reliable, state of the art equipment, you can count on logistics becoming a nightmare.

Allow us to relieve you of this burden and free your time to manage other aspects of the program.

 

EVENT DECORATION

There is nothing better than seeing your guests walk into a room and hearing them say “Wow”. Decor is the first impression of an event and can completely set the tone for the theme, mood or even the objective of the evening. Decoration can transform a room into a customized theme or simply add a little touch to what’s already there. Either way, décor is the best way to create atmosphere. Beyond simple props, linens and centerpieces, we can provide appropriate lighting elements and show productions to enhance the ambience of the chosen room. Taking it a step further, we will provide all of your audiovisual, staging, backdrop and dimensional stage decoration needs. This allows for a seamless transition between the production stage and the rest of the room décor. Experts on the facilities located in Austin, we can offer decoration appropriate to the facility and to your objectives. Allow us take the worry out of event decoration and at the same time, make you look good!
