A Complete Meeting Package
'Conference centers (sic) simplify your planning and budgeting with a convenient, per-person rate for guest room, three meals per day, continuous refreshment breaks, 24-hour meeting rooms, conference services and audiovisual support.'Definition from the International Association of Conference Centres
A Complete Meeting Package (CMP) differs from a 24-hour delegate rate because it includes everything you will need for your meeting and ensures there will be no nasty surprises or hidden extras at the end of the event.
Typical 24-hour rates at most properties will include:
- Main Meeting Room Hire
- Three Meals
- Overnight Accommodation
- 1-2 servings of coffee
But a genuine Complete Meeting Package at a specialist conference centre should also cover:
- Unlimited tea, coffee and refreshments throughout the day
- Unlimited 'conference consumables' such as flipcharts, pens, paper etc.
- Unrestricted access to the venue's leisure facilities
- Free, unlimited broadband internet access
- Meeting support from a dedicated conference team (not a generic 'Conference and Banqueting' department)
Sundial Group's Complete Meeting Package goes further still by including:
- Free, unlimited WiFi access in meeting rooms, bedrooms and public areas
- Data projector in your main meeting room
- Support from an experienced, specialist event planning team prior to your event
- Free parking
- Refreshments for delegates to cover their onward journey from our 'Goody Trolley'
- Syndicate Rooms: One for up to fifteen delegates; two for larger events
Day Meeting Packages will usually cover the working day (9-6ish) and will not include accommodation, breakfast or dinner.
