Accommodation Booking for Events & Conferences
Conference Consultancy has years of experience of arranging and booking accommodation. Many of our clients prefer for us to act as a point of contact for their delegates to book accommodation. This frees them from time-consuming requests for information on hotels or the best way to get there.
We can arrange a block booking of accommodation in or near your event venue, which we book and run. We do all the negotiation and organization, so you are not tied into a contract with the venue. Our aim is to make your life easy and the booking process for your delegates straightforward.
If you have a regular need in a particular area for accommodation for your staff or delegates, we are also experts in identifying suitable hotels. Our clients benefit from corporate rates which we negotiate and set up. We then ensure that any requests for accommodation in this area are placed into the hotels offering the best location and rate.
Conference Consultancy is also able to assist with individual accommodation requests and group bookings of bedrooms.
Green Events & Environmental Policy
We are all becoming much more aware of the effects of carbon footprints and as a company we take our impact on the environment very seriously. Read our environmental policy.
Green Events
Increasingly our clients are telling us that they want to minimize the environmental impact of their events. So Conference Consultancy is now able to source venues that have strong green credentials. We use our venue database to identify those venues that make environmental issues forefront in the product that they offer.
We also plan to make use of the Hotel Carbon Index iin order to access the most up-to-date information about the environmental rating of venues and as a tool to help clients calculate the carbon footprint of their event.
Environmental Policy
Conference Consultancy’s carbon footprint derives mainly from running the offices and from the paperwork generated and sent. We have made the decision to email the majority of our correspondence and invoicing. Our Venue Base booking system gives us the ability to email our quotes, confirmations and amendments to both clients and venues. Venue Base can also send emails for copy bill requests and commission invoices. Where possible, we also send venue contracts to clients by email. This means that in recent years we have reduced considerably our paper and postage usage.
We purchase from environmentally aware suppliers where possible and source of our office materials are recycled or greener options. Conference Consultancy has invested in office equipment which has low energy usage whilst on standby. In addition where possible our lighting is fitted with low energy light bulbs.
In order to further reduce our carbon footprint, our staff travels to venue inspections and client appointments by public transport where possible.
Conference Consultancy has set up a committee at the company to keep a keen eye on both our own and also venues’ environmental performance
