We Empower Meetings Professionals
GMI Worldwide is a full-service meetings and events management company.
I work one-on-one with meeting planners and their organization to support and assist with all aspects of research, sourcing and planning.
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
We drive the request for proposal process, offering our clients a comprehensive list of options in less than 48 hours, and our guidance on the best value.
Contract Negotiation
We leverage our hospitality experience and relationships to attain our client maximum value for each program, including best rates and concessions, and to help protect them both legally and financially.
Contract Review
All contracts include multiple client-friendly clauses and concessions from the start. We further review every line to keep our clients protected and assure all negotiated details are in writing.
Vendor Assistance
We tap our extensive industry network to assist with options for DMCs, transportation companies, audio-visual companies, entertainment and more.
Site Tour Logistics
We coordinate site visits that allow clients to best evaluate hotel properties and venues, and connect them with on-site teams for tours.
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.
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.
