Meeting Planner & FUEL Young Professionals Joint Roundtable

DATE: Wednesday, June 29th, 2022

TOPIC: Navigating Negotiations: A Balancing Act Between Planners & Suppliers
FUEL Young Professionals & AENC Meeting Planners have brought together a panel event on one of the hot topics facing our industry. Attendees will hear perspectives representing multiple sides of negotiations: suppliers, associations, and sourcing agents. Panelists will share their experiences and tips on how to be empathetic and create a win/win situation for all parties. One trending topic the group will discuss is how inflation is affecting budgets and pricing which is causing negotiations to be extra hard to navigate. Just one of the many topics that this panel and attendees will discuss. Don’t forget to bring your negotiating tips, questions, and learnings to share with the group.
