Adding Discovery When Sourcing In-Person Events Events Forward
-
- Business
The initial discovery process for sourcing in-person meetings has changed since pre-pandemic. Event stakeholders and planners need to ask more and different questions before determining the best destination and hotel venue for their event. The RFP questions go well beyond confirming if your event is in-person or hybrid.
In this episode, our host, Jeff Naue, Special Projects Marketing Lead, catches up with Vicki Schmitz, Senior Manager of Procurement, to discuss the changes that event managers and meeting stakeholders should consider as part of their sourcing and contracting process to be sure the goals of the event can be met while also ensuring the personal safety and security for all of their participants.
Back in July of 2020, we did an episode called Before Your Source Your Next Event and interviewed Denise Farrell, Director of Procurement, and Vicki the Senior Manager of Procurement to discuss the changes that event managers and meeting stakeholders should consider as part of their sourcing process. Well, that episode did so great that we decided to do a follow-up episode. This is the first of a two-part episode where I'll first interview Vicki and then be interviewing Kristen Allen, Manager of Procurement.
Tune in to our interview with Vicki Walsh to learn what you need to consider before sourcing your next in-person or hybrid event. Also, if you are interested in working with M&IW, visit meetings-incentives.com.
