Q: Why should I contact a local event organiser like Conference Consult?
A: The key advantage of having…as an event organiser is that we have a huge amount of experience when it comes to planning and producing events locally. Together with our extensive contacts we can find the right venues, services and special events for the best possible prices. We can assist you from the planning stage making sure no detail is forgotten and later, during the event, we can give much needed local support. The fact that we have local support means that you only have to ‘shout’ to make adjustments or alterations when you need them. We supply the comfort, knowledge and experience to ensure the overall success of your event.

Q: What are the costs for your services?
A: With most venues, accommodation and other suppliers we work on commission basis. Therefore, in most cases there are no extra booking or service costs to you. However, if you require only consulting/assistance to choose venues but no help with the actual planning and management aspects of your event, we can provide this service for a fee. An offer for these services can be sent to you within a day of your initial request.

Q: Why do you offer consulting and/or site inspections separately also?
A: We know that there are many companies that have planned and produced many of their own events with great success. Often this is because they have their own ‘in house’ events organisers. However, it could be that they need our assistance if they want to host an event in a city or location that they are unfamiliar with.

Q: What are the best venues for meetings, conferences and congresses?
A: The ‘best’ venue is the venue that suits your needs and expectations most. Of course, everything depends on availability when you submit a request. Therefore, you can never start early enough with your planning. We will ask you some key questions, which will guide us in the right direction when we are looking for a suitable venue.

Q: How long will it take you to send us an offer?
A: Normally we can do this in a matter of days. If your request is difficult to fulfil, it can take up to a week.

Q: Will there be any contracts involved?
A: Yes, we believe that contracts are necessary so that both parties know their responsibilities. We believe in clear contracts and in our professionalism. We meet companies every day that try to get free information and assistance from us, therefore we like to sign a contract immediately from the start. Of course, such a contract would only be valid should you decide to hold the event at a location(s) offered by us.

Q: Why will we only be charged according to contract when we choose a different events company/destination/location than the one offered by you?
A: Often different destinations/locations/events organising companies are being considered and we understand that this can influence your final decision. However we do put our full efforts in giving you professional and fair offers and expect our clients to respect these efforts by paying any pre-contract consulting fees that may be due.

Q: How can we request an offer from you?
A: Either in the ‘contact us’ section or in the specific services you will find a request form. Please fill in the form with as much detail as possible. We will confirm we have received your request and will start working on it immediately. If we have any questions, we will contact you. In any case, we will make you an offer within days or a week at the latest.
