Hotel sourcing is a difficult proposition these days. We have short sourcing windows coming out of the pandemic. Hotels have limited availability based upon the number of rebooks they’re fielding. It’s easy to get trapped in the dates, rates, and space formula with little regard for much else.

RFP processes. I interned with the ABA three separate times. I worked directly with both the meetings and membership departments. Some of my daily tasks included: Membership record projects and outreach. Contract negotiation. Registration. Meeting materials (badges and other fun necessities). Invoicing and monthly financial reconciliations.

In most cases, we’ve got the RFP process all wrong. As most associations only have access to a skilled meeting planner, I would recommend enlisting the support of a professional development leader within your industry or a cost-conscious instructional designer/consultant to support your planning efforts.

When they then sent the RFP, they also sent the other two proposals. I had a circumstance where I spent time discussing needs with an association only to have them then send me and others an RFP based on what I had suggested. I declined to submit a proposal, noting they’d shared the other proposals.
