GMI Worldwide

HERE'S WHAT WE DO

I support organizations that host meetings and events with critical details, including;

Site Selection & Analysis

Any country, any city, even at sea, our global network sources markets based on the client’s specific needs to find a custom fit for each program.

RFP Generation

I help drive the request for proposal process, offering clients a comprehensive list of options in less than 48 hours, and my insight as to which hold the best value.

Contract Negotiations

My hospitality experience and industry relationships help assure my clients get the best overall value for their event, from best rates and concessions, to legal and financial protection.

Contract Review

Our involvement automatically earns you client-friendly clauses and concessions from the start. From there, I work to add additional protections and assure all negotiated details are in writing.

Vendor Assistance

When clients need help sourcing DMCs, transportation companies, audio-visual companies or entertainment, we tap our extensive network of industry partners to provide options.

Hospitality Educator

I work with first-time event planners, seasoned meetings professionals, and everyone between. I’m here to answer questions, offer insight, and help my clients navigate the process.

A Thousand Successful Meetings … and Counting

Since 2011, I’ve personally helped clients with more than a thousand programs around the world.

Our Value Proposition

Here’s what you can expect when you work with us.

Best Room Rates & Savings

Our purchasing power gets you lower hotel room rates, more comps, and more upgrades than can be negotiating directly with a hotel.

Single Point of Contact

Outline your needs once, and you’re done. Kristin is your dedicated, on-demand planning partner, with you every step of the way.

Minimized Liability

From attrition to force majeure, Kristin personally negotiates and reviews every contract on your behalf to maximize its value and minimize your exposure.

No Cost to You

We receive a placement payment from whatever hotel you select, so our help costs you nothing and our involvement never negatively impacts your rates.

Fast, Streamlined RFP Responses

Even the most seasoned meeting professionals can find it a challenge to get timely RFP responses from hotels.

  • Our RFP response rate is more than 90% in the first 24 hours.
  • Virtually every property responds to our RFPs within 48 hours.
  • Our clients receive a single, consolidated response report to review.
  • We can source practically any property, any brand, anywhere in the world.

There’s zero risk in letting me help with your next RFP.

See what I come back with, and decide for yourself. No obligation, no commitment.

Every Brand, All Around the World

We work with every major cruise line and hotel brand, as well as independent and boutique properties across the globe.

Happy Planners, Happy Attendees

Here’s what the people I help every day have to say.

And Yes, My Help
Really Is Free

My clients enjoy my help at no charge. I ultimately earn a placement fee from whatever hotel they select, and my involvement never negatively impacts their rates.
