Hotel Contracts & Negotiation: Pop-Up Workshop
Think the hotel's first offer is the best deal you're going to get?
Oh, we need to talk.
Here's something most event hosts don't realize: Just because a hotel puts something in a proposal doesn't mean it's the best offer for your event.
Room rates, food and beverage minimums, concessions, cancellation terms, complimentary amenities... there's often more room for negotiation than you think.
And here's the real insider tip:
Your negotiating power starts before you ever contact a hotel.
I'm opening up my calendar for a special, one-hour Hotel Contracts & Negotiation Pop-Up Workshop, where I'm sharing the strategies I use when sourcing venues, evaluating proposals, and negotiating hotel agreements for events.
Because a great event starts with a great agreement.
Here's What We're Getting Into
The Art of the RFP: How to approach hotels strategically and position yourself for better offers before the conversation even begins.
The Room Rate Trap: Why the cheapest room rate isn't always the best deal and what you should actually be comparing.
The Fine Print: Attrition, cancellation, food and beverage minimums, and the contract terms that could cost you.
The Negotiation Wish List: What you can ask for beyond a lower rate, including concessions, upgrades, flexibility, and added value.
The Insider Approach: How to ask better questions, recognize opportunities, and negotiate with confidence.
We're talking real examples, practical strategies, and the little details that can make a BIG difference in your event budget.
No fluff. No complicated legal jargon. Just an hour of practical event strategy you can put to work immediately.
