| Meeting and Event Organization | Bobrow & Associates has planned a multiplicity of meetings including small business/committee meetings, annual conferences and conventions, seminars, workshops, golf tournaments, galas and banquets, to name just a few. Bobrow believes that meetings can be an important communications tool between an organization and its members or clients. We work closely with your volunteers and committees to develop meeting and/or educational programs that serve to bolster member retention. |

|
| Site Selection and Contract Negotiation | | Bobrow & Associates has been involved in the site selection and contract negotiations processes for more than 13 years. It is our practice to listen, understand and clarify the client's needs and wants and then proceed through the processes, ultimately providing the client with cost-benefit analyses for the client's decision. In each instance where Bobrow & Associates has negotiated contracts with venue and other suppliers, lasting relationships have been forged. |
| Lodging and Food & Beverage Arrangements | Whether you need lodging or food and beverage arrangements for 10 or 10,000 people, Bobrow & Associates has the expertise to manage these functions for you in a cost-effective manner. Managing room blocks to avoid possible attrition penalties is a crucial service, requiring great attention to detail and timing. Bobrow & Associates works with the properties to closely monitor room blocks and avoid paying attrition penalties. Inherent in the food and beverage planning process is an awareness of and planning for attendees with food allergies and/or special meal requirements. We work closely with catering staff to ensure that what is delivered matches what is reflected on the BEOs and that it is consistent with the client's goals and budget. |

Meeting Room Design | | The appropriate design and layout of meeting space is essential to providing a positive experience for the adult learner. Bobrow & Associates understands the role this function plays in enhancing the learning experience for your attendees. |
| Speaker Management | Bobrow & Associates understands the importance of a properly managed speaker program. Let us take the worry out of ensuring arrangements for your speakers while ensuring the timely receipt of completed paperwork from your speakers. We have across-the-board experience in managing speaker programs, arranging for speaker travel and lodging, abstract management and securing information from speakers so that promotional materials can be produced. |

|
Audiovisual Management | | If your educational and other presentations are plentiful, management of audiovisual needs becomes a complicated project to provide the necessary equipment at the least cost to your organization. Let Bobrow & Associates manage your audiovisuals so that speaker needs are met and costs remain within your budget. |
| Onsite Management | All the careful pre-planning in the world is worthless if your onsite management team is not experienced in those logistics. Bobrow & Associates arrives early to ensure timely delivery and placement of essential equipment and meeting supplies, meet with venue staff and other providers to ensure that all parties are completely familiar with the event resume and others involved in managing the event, and to ensure that registration, staging and other areas are set according to specifications. During the event itself, we maintain close contact with all necessary parties to ensure the smooth flow of events and to deal with any crises that may arise. To that end, we also work closely with venues to ensure that there is an effective emergency preparedness plan in place. We also ensure there are speaker and VIP procedures in place. |

|
Post-Event Evaluation and Recommendation | | Following the event, Bobrow & Associates oversees the removal and return of all unused materials, meets with venue staff to review all charges and otherwise engages with venue staff in post-meeting critiques. Once all payables and receivables are reconciled, we provide post-meeting reports and tabulate all evaluations for the client's review. |
