Working Well with Convention Services

Meetings Today’s video and article 6 Tips for Working With a Convention Services Team features Maxine Compean, an associate event manager with Marriott.

Maxine emphasizes transparent communication in the interview: “As soon as you book an event, realize that the host facility’s convention services team is your partner. As with any team member, the meeting planner needs to disclose any critical information so the event will be a success. What is most important to you? Is there a strict budget that needs to be abided by? Give the convention services team all of the information they need to bring your vision to life, and then trust them to execute.”
