Meeting agencies use several different fee structures, including fixed fees, percentage fees, per-person rates, and hourly rates. While each model has pros and cons, working with a trusted agency, like Brightspot, can help offset the cost of hiring a meeting agency with the savings you will obtain through strong partnerships and contract negotiation – we call this Zero Net Cost.

With hotels, everything is constantly changing. Supply and demand see-saw. The most significant cost savings are often uncovering the hotel with the lowest occupancy and the strongest desire to discount rates to bring your group to them.
