Negotiating Guaranteed Hotel Rooms For Deployments

This is a fast-paced and comprehensive presentation that recounts the experiences of two large corporations that chose divergent paths when it came to securing hotel rooms for their critical personnel in a deployment. This is not an abstract session. Instead, attendees will learn the exact steps taken with regard to housing by these two large corporations and we’ll discuss what worked and what didn’t. There are more than 60 negotiable terms in a hotel’s group booking contract and this session will equip attendees with specific creative and unique ways to craft those contracts to their organization’s best advantage to fit the unique aspects of a crisis management booking. Attendees are encouraged to share their war stories as this is meant to be interactive session. Everyone who attends will leave the session having learned something that they can use in their jobs immediately.
If time allows, this session will also cover best practices for guaranteeing hotel rooms in advance on a contingency basis.

Key learning points:
  • How to ensure hotel availability without having to purchase rooms.
  • Specific hotel contract clauses to minimize both cost and risk.
  • Managing housing-related logistics, invoices and tracking personnel during deployments.
