If you’ve hired a good meeting planning company, chances are that your attendees will not even notice them. Unfortunately, for the meeting planning company, they seem to get recognized the most when things go bad.
Check out this video, from Hyatt, that takes a humorous look at what can happen when you hire a bad meeting planning company.
A planner should NEVER leave an event before it is over. As the planner I am there to represent my client and until the last vendor departs the facility I am there to make every ‘I’ and every ‘T’ is crossed. My loyalty is to my reputation which is making sure every client is matched with the ‘best’ vendor for them. This translates into making sure the client’s budget is priority and the vendor fits the client’s budget and personality. I hope that as professionals we remember that the goal is to make sure the client is happy and personal feelings, grievances or other non-essential elements do not have a place.
