Meetings, Events & Incentive Travel

The landscape of meeting, event, and incentive travel has changed. Today, you have increased financial risks, regulatory compliance issues, resource and budget constraints and stakeholder demands to improve value and meeting outcomes. You need a partner who not only understands the challenges within the industry, but a partner who can respond quickly to your unique challenges as well. You need Maritz. For over 50 years, we’ve been the trusted ME&I source.

No one is more committed to delivering exceptional experiences and effective outcomes than Maritz. It’s what makes us different. We combine strategic thinking and research-based insights to ensure your program’s success. We know your stakeholders are more demanding now than ever. They want world-class experiences and measurable value, too. Our dedicated experts, creative and operations team can produce the sensible execution and results that you, your participants and stakeholders want the most.

Our Three-tiered Approach

We provide the precise blend of strategy and science with artistic elegance and creative sensibility to ensure you have a successful program. Our approach includes:

• Exceptional Experiences Making your program stand out and exceeding the expectations of your participants, and of course your stakeholders, can be a daunting challenge. At Maritz, we have the people, business processes, and complete solutions to deliver impact. Simply put, your program will be aligned to your business needs, and deliver a memorable experience that resonates with your diverse audience.
• Effective Outcomes It takes more than strong financial leadership and exceptional experiences to achieve better business results. It also takes effective program design. We give your programs the most value possible with research-based insights that enable smarter spending. We provide robust information to aid your decision-making process. You’ll have a better understanding of how to effectively motivate people, when to use virtual meeting options, and what meeting content is most engaging to your participants. In addition to aligning your meeting objectives with your business objectives, you’ll benefit from our contacts and buying power. We have industry relationships with top hotels and resorts, destination management companies, airlines and more. And we can drive exceptional savings to you, as we book over 850,000 room nights a year.
• Portfolio Optimization: Meeting spend is often the second-largest corporate expense, and many corporations underestimate their total ME&I spend by as much as 40%. So the impact can be significant when you begin to manage your ME&I strategy on a more holistic level. This kind of big-picture approach to planning considers all activities, audiences and objectives. With an overall portfolio perspective, Maritz can help you drive performance up and costs down. You achieve higher efficiency and mitigate risk in areas such as rates, lead times, contract terms, and proposal responses.
