From intimate executive dinners to large corporate celebrations and destination events, GBA brings together creative concepts, trusted partners and precise execution to create moments guests will remember long after the event ends.
Destination consideration is a key component to any successful meeting or event. With worldwide production experience, we provide the necessary resources and support our clients need when it comes to selecting a destination or venue for their next meeting or event.
We realize that negotiation and contract management are fundamental elements that deserve critical attention.
As part of pre-conference promotion, online enrollment, or providing current updates, GBA recognizes the importance online services plays in getting information out to attendees in the quickest and most effective manner possible.
The best options when it comes to accommodation selection, along with onsite management of all in-house or on property services, are standard considerations we provide all our clients.
We understand that getting to, from, and around during events in the easiest and most convenient manner possible is key in the overall experience of your guests.
When it comes to producing that extraordinary event, we realize that the ‘wow’ factor must translate our client’s mission through the experience itself.
As a part of the site selection process, GBA provides our clients with complete information on all a specific destination may have to offer in the way of both cultural and recreational activities.
When you are in the business of providing service to others, one of your greatest assets are those people who represent you.
We start with the business objective — the audience, the behavior you want to drive, and the number you are measured on.
Destination shortlist, program concept, and a budget that reflects what the program actually costs to run.
Contracts, concessions and vendor terms — the stage where our leverage typically pays for our fee.
Our team on the ground as an extension of yours, from the first arrival transfer to the last departure.
A post-program reconciliation and debrief that feeds straight into next year’s planning.
Tell us the objective, the audience and the window — we’ll come back with a destination shortlist, a program concept and a realistic budget.
