Congrex has announced the decision to extend its established venue sourcing capabilities for world-wide venue sourcing and selection to additional operational locations.
This service utilises Congrex’s extensive knowledge of venues world-wide, offering guaranteed best-venue solutions within 24 hours.
Emma Dasselaar, Sales Director Congrex Holland and also responsible for International Venue Sourcing explains:
“Venue Sourcing is recognised and often listed as the number one time consuming activity by corporate, governmental and association meeting planners. Time needs to be involved creating the briefing for an RFP, initiating the search, communicating with possibly multiple destinations and then several venues within each location.”
The service Congrex offers is free for clients.
“We offer this as a free, time-saving service and can guarantee best-venue solutions within 24 hours. Our offerings are very much tailored our client’s individual requirements and budgets. The benefits to our clients are that we have extensive knowledge of venues world-wide, so there is an average cost savings up to 25% against "first offer" and we get extra cost-savings and added value through experienced negotiation” said Emma Dasselaar.
This decision comes in a time when meeting planners are being stretched, budgets are tightened and the outsourcing of venue selection can free up valuable time and resources.
“When budgets are being cut, there are added pressures on the role of the corporate meeting planner. Their key role is to focusing on their organisation’s strategy and how their business objectives are achieved through their meeting activities. A good balance on resources is to consider outsourcing tactical operations such as venue sourcing” added Caroline Mackenzie, Regional Business Development Director, Congrex UK and Benelux.
Congrex’s venue sourcing service is offered world-wide and is available for conferences, meetings and events of all sizes and locations. Congrex can also source “sustainable venues” to help clients with their environmental considerations.
Congrex has already successfully delivered these services for corporate clients such as Novartis, Eriksson, Ford and Hewlett Packard and for organisations such as the World Bank and the European Space Agency.
