The Meeting Company

About Us
Founded in 1997, The Meeting Company is a meeting research, brokering and consulting firm. We specialize in streamlining and simplifying the meeting planning and purchasing functions of our clients. We make a conscious decision each day to deliver more than the standard meeting planning service. While our philosophy is straight forward --combine great technology with smart, dedicated individuals to provide service and creative solutions that help others--our objective is anything but one-dimensional. Our goal is to make a profound difference with the service and solutions we provide. We challenge conventional thinking. We ask our team to make a difference beyond the world of meeting planning. We ask them to deliver solutions that change the status quo. We believe personal service and efficiency can live in harmony when you combine smart people with smart technology. We believe the greatest return on investment for our clients is achieved by creating an environment that promotes successful growth in the organizations and individuals we serve as well as the communities in which we live. We embrace our profession not as a job, but as an extension of our individual lives and personalities. We are designed to achieve a maximum return on your investment --not ours.

Mission Statement
The Meeting Company creates an environment that allows clients to achieve a maximum return on their meeting planning investment. We accomplish this through the integrated power of our state-of-the-art PlanIT Platform technology, in concert with personalized service and creative solutions delivered by talented people. Our comprehensive and user-friendly web-based planning tool promotes a more efficient, cost-effective planning environment -- enabling you to gain optimum control over the planning, budgeting and tracking of essential meeting information across your company.

Values Statement
The growth and success of The Meeting Company is dependent upon the shared values of our people. They understand our business exists to serve the customer. We grow, live and learn by a unified set of values that will guide us in a continually changing corporate meeting environment:

Honesty -There is nothing more important in the process of doing business than telling the truth. We will not compromise this value when dealing with each other, our clients, our suppliers or anyone else we come in contact with. We may not always like the truth, but the truth never changes.

Dedication - We represent you, there is no task or challenge too big or small that we won't readily accept at your request. It is always our pleasure to serve and communicate with our clients, partners and vendors. We dedicate ourselves to your success.

Innovation - We will not settle for providing our customers with solutions they can find elsewhere. We will challenge ourselves to provide information, services and technology that create new standards for excellence.

Quality - We will provide information that will allow individuals to make informed, intelligent decisions. We will meet all reasonable customer requirements both internally and externally within stated timelines.

Excellence - Our goal is to always provide the right solution--the first time. Proper preparation and tireless effort produce desired results that save both time and money.

Understanding - We realize different needs exist within every culture, enterprise and personality. By understanding the needs and goals of our customers, staff and vendors, we deliver personalized solutions that help each other reach objectives for the common good of all.

Encouragement - No idea or thought is considered insignificant. We encourage innovative thinking from staff, clients and suppliers throughout the meeting planning process. We want individuals to accept each decision and idea as an opportunity to set their own bar.

Responsibility - We are accountable for the actions we take. We can make a difference by involving ourselves in worthwhile causes. The success of The Meeting Company is based on sharing our success with the people who live and work in our communities. It's a responsibility that we take very seriously through corporate giving and our commitment to community involvement.
