Meeting Planner Resources
There exists a subtle but distinct difference between a good meeting and a great one. A good meeting provides necessities like quality meeting spaces and suitable accommodations for attendees. But a great meeting is something else entirely. It's built around service. Because when there's partnership and understanding, incredible things happen. Here are just some of the resources that Experience Kissimmee can help provide.
For the vast majority of events, you need excellent coordination and integration of vendor services to successfully stage a seamless experience from beginning to end. Components such as procurement of custom signage, rental of specialized equipment, transportation services, and entertainment require expert knowledge of the area and an understanding of local vendors. Experience Kissimmee stands ready to assist with all your third-party vendor needs, and we're happy to provide a list of recommended local vendors.
If you’re meeting in Kissimmee, we encourage you to include Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) as part of your complete event agenda. Experience Kissimmee embraces Corporate Social Responsibility, and we can help identify local charities and community projects that invite CSR opportunities. Engage your delegates through volunteerism, donations, and more. Plus, provide tangible connections with your company’s own strategic goals and charitable pursuits.
We can recommend excellent Kissimmee non-profit organizations and other partners that would be a good match for your group.
Our knowledgeable services team can point you to restaurants with the ideal private dining space for your group. Beyond the size of the space, we consider the location, atmosphere, style, menu, and more to ensure a great fit with your group.
Central Florida hotels, venues, attractions, restaurants, transportation services, and vendors are accustomed to serving visitors of all abilities from around the globe. Work with our dedicated services team to make your event as seamless and stress-free as possible for all attendees.
