Meetings & Events

Helping you create the extraordinary

Sometimes it's necessary to go beyond the ordinary. Simply planning and executing is not enough. Your meeting or event needs to deliver not only an extraordinary experience, but more return on your business objectives. Quite simply, if your program isn't producing real value for your company, it isn’t worth having. Maritz Travel understands that providing extraordinary experiences inspires everyone one to achieve more, which is just good business.

When building an event program it's always better to measure twice,
meet once.

It’s challenging to pull off an effective meeting or event. Delivering effective corporate meeting planning is difficult when you have limited resources and budgets. On top of everything else, you have to make all the decisions around content, speakers, technology, overall design and format. Not to mention the increased industry regulations, social responsibilities, financial risks, and stakeholder demands facing many conference and business meeting planners today. So how do you produce effective meetings or improve your program if you're not sure what to measure or how to do it? Let Maritz Travel help. Our research-based approach allows you to measure your program’s overall effectiveness at the beginning and end of your program.

  • Audience Insights

    Our event simulation tool uses your participant’s feedback, via Voice of the Audience research, to design a better, more engaging event program.

  • Content Optimization

    We help you identify the right content, speaker and presentation formats using TURF analysis (Total Unduplicated Reach and Frequency). This data-driven design method incorporates more impact, engagement and learning into your programs.

  • Scorecard Measurement

    Our proven scorecard process helps you to measure success by quantifying the value the event created for your organization.

  • Smarter Spend

    By demonstrating the changed attitudes, perceptions and behaviors of your attendees, we can maximize every event program dollar you spend.
