Consultants has experience in trade show and convention
event planning services. Operations Management of any
trade show or convention includes a significant number
of details that must be managed and communicated. Our
staff has many years of successful operational experience
with trade shows providing convention event planning
services to many significant trade shows in the

Convention Event Planning Support Staff
Meeting Consultants understands that many organizations
have reduced their full-time staff and a trade show or
convention requires additional staff support to accomplish
all the tasks required to manage an event. Meeting Consultants
and our project managers are prepared to become an extension
of your staff providing additional expertise and experience
to support your current staff and allow your staff to
continue managing their ongoing core responsibilities.
The benefit of outsourcing to Meeting Consultants is that
you are expanding your staff with a team of experienced
experts who are totally accountable to you to provide
convention event planning services and you maintain
total control and management of the event.
Event Timelines
Attention to detail is one of the keys to successful
convention event planning and trade show operations
and management. Our project management team understands
this important aspect of trade show management. For
this reason, detailed timelines are always established,
monitored, and updated on a regular basis depending
on the size and complexity of the event.
Convention Event Planning Service Budgets
An event may accomplish all of its goals but if the
trade show does not stay within budget, it may not be
considered a true success. Another key to successful
convention service planning is budget management. Meeting
Consultants recommends the use of zero based budgeting
practices whenever possible to allow for a detailed
breakdown of line items within a trade show budget.
Budgets are established, then monitored and managed
to insure that show organizer can always have an ongoing
understanding of how their event budget compares to
their event’s actual expenses.

Exchange (APEX) initiated by the Convention Industry
