How much will it cost for Tom Dick and Harry to manage my event?
Probable less than you think, it all depends on the amount of work involved. Keep in mind that we are completely transparent - this means that we don't take hidden commissions, bribes or mark-up invoices from venues or any suppliers, we simply negotiate the best possible rates for our clients.
What are the payment terms or deposits required for an event or conference?
Generally its 4 payments of 25% (of the total agreed fee) equally split in the lead up to the event with the 4th and final payment post event. Our payment terms are 7 days post invoice however we understand this might not be suitable for your association or company and are happy to work on a suitable plan.
What happens if I need to cancel my event? Can I get insurance against this?
On the very odd occasion, events from time to time need to be cancelled. We discuss the implications of this with all our clients at the beginning stages of the event planning. It's crucial that all parties understand any obligations, requirements or cancellation policies related to any event. We recommend event insurance and have contacts in this area.
* It's vitally important in our current environment to understand the risks associated with cancellation and postponement especially the Force Majeure clause within venue and key supplier contracts.
