Strategic Consulting

Our firm offers so much more than just meeting planning. C&LC clients receive professional expertise and service from an executive-level perspective. We provide a complete team of executives to provide consultation, advice, and battle-tested strategies for conference and organizational management.

Event Consulting & Development

For clients launching a new event or re-engineering an existing event, we lead the design team by asking the right questions to give you the answers you need. We offer our extensive experience, open perspective, and strategic planning tools forged over more than 50 years of combined experience. We help clients construct a strong framework, concrete goals, clear milestones, a realistic budget, and specific roles and responsibilities.

Budget Overhaul

Every event can benefit from a fresh look at the budget from time to time. Most organizations rely on event revenue, and every penny counts. Our executive leadership team specializes in event financial management, and is able to offer suggestions to streamline expenses, reduce costs, and increase your organization’s financial return.

Strong Event Leadership

Our team takes an active role in all planning meetings to guide the process. We will track, report and build a clear history on the process, the progress and the key decisions. Our team will apply our seasoned executive strategic experience to be the “lightening rod’ to positively advise and guide the Conference team.

Timeline Development & Management

We work with our clients to determine the planning timetables for all deliverables. Once completed, we drive the timeline, key deliverables, and take a leadership role to keep the event team on track and on schedule.

Attendee Insights

Want to know what your attendees really think about your event? Our executive team can develop surveys, focus groups, and/or personal interviews with current or lapsed attendees to gather data on industry trends, overall satisfaction, your competitors, and ideas for improvement.

Competitive Analysis

Competition is fierce, and events must stand out in order to woo attendees. C&LC’s competitive research reveals specific data about your top competitors – such as event pricing, structure, attendee demographics, and sponsors and exhibitors – that you can use to position your event for maximum success.

Legal Issues & Liability Consulting

C&LC professionals are constantly trained on the latest hospitality legal issues. We offer expertise in the areas of attrition, hotel and convention center contracts, housing block piracy & protection, competing with internet travel sites, liability insurance, special needs issues, service and facility compliance.

Meeting Technology Consulting

Managing a high volume of meetings every year allows us to remain ahead of trends and changes in the convention industry. We help clients determine which meeting technology solutions meet their needs, without blowing the budget.
