Creative Meetings & Events LLC was started because of my love for planning meetings and events; my love of building relationships with venues and negotiating the contract; and my love for designing registration websites, signage, name badges and creating menus with the chefs and caterers. But I love doing it on a small scale with a limited budget. CME started with that in mind; and my clients woul
d be those having anywhere from 2-5 day meetings of around 250 attendees. My clients would be small organizations who didn’t have a dedicated meeting planner but instead had their meeting spread out among various staff who had to add it in to their already full-time jobs. My clients would have limited meeting budgets which needed a lot of stretching. My clients would not have the time to learn the ins and outs of hotel contracts, what concessions are best to ask for and keep and what concessions are best to ask for to use as bargaining chips. And my clients would be those who maybe had a meeting staff but just wanted some extra help every now and then. If your group or organization fits any of these profiles, then CME may be a good fit for you! There's no hassle and no pressure. In fifteen minutes, we can discuss your needs and have a proposal back within 48 hours. Best of all, we will do all we can to offset our services through hotel commissions and/or rebates--or maybe it's simply by adding $5 to $10 to your registration fee. Whatever it is, we'll offer it as a possibility and you can decide from there.
