  6. Brainstorm and Group Work • Trend to see more PA’s and others who may have not organised events before and getting them “educated’ and also being able to move past them to the decision makers • Event Management Companies Vs Venues • Venues are increasingly providing added services such as themeing and entertainment (and making a profit). Where does that leave Event Management Companies? • Competing catering prices • Educating clients to understand pricing differences between venues with in-house catering and venues with contracted caterers. • Repeat clients. Are loyalty programs worthwhile 10th May 2008
