SITE SELECTION

GSA and ConferenceDirect will work directly with you to locate the best venue at the best prices to suite your meeting needs. GSA will contact the local committee chair at least two years out from your meeting to get some details on what ideas you have for your meeting. We will then forward that information along to ConferenceDirect, and they will send out RFPs to that location. You will review the RFPs that are sent back, and from there you will make the decision of where to hold the meeing.

Prior to making your final decision, ConferenceDirect is able to set up a site visit for you, if you wish. This will help you to see the facilities, making sure they will fit your meeting needs.

We try to make this process easy for you so you can focus more on the technical portion of your meeting.

The following is only an example and does not necessarily reflect the entire meeting needs, but it provides a basic outline of what is needed. Susan will work with you regarding the full spectrum of your meeting and will alter this list accordingly in order to send the complete room needs along with the request for proposal.
