Our commercial model
We are paid by our clients, on an agreed fee. Supplier commissions never influence our recommendations. Where commissions apply, they are fully disclosed and offset against that fee, so a higher commission lowers your invoice rather than raising our income.
Scope is agreed in writing before an engagement begins, including what sits outside it. We would rather have that conversation early than invoice for it later.
Supplier commissions never influence our recommendations. Where commissions apply, they are fully disclosed and offset against our agreed fee.
What the event needs, agreed in writing before any supplier is approached.
Every supplier receives the same brief, the same question set and the same deadline.
Rate, attrition, cut-off, complimentary ratio, cancellation terms and taxes reduced to one figure.
The reasoning is written down, so the decision holds up in front of a board months later.
Any commission is stated per supplier before you decide, not after.
Delegate data belongs to your organisation and is exported to you on request.
Where a property pays commission, we accept it, disclose it and offset it against our agreed fee. Our total remuneration is the fee, so a higher commission reduces your invoice rather than increasing our income.

You do. Delegate data belongs to the organisation, is held on your behalf, and is exported to you on request in a usable format.
A structure where part of our remuneration depends on measurable savings against an agreed baseline. It works where a baseline genuinely exists, normally a recurring congress with comparable prior editions.
