Successfully negotiating your hotel and meeting needs
Source
Armed with your criteria, we will source the best fitting properties for your event and compile the details into an easy to compare proposal.
Negotiate
Using our expertise, buying power and strong industry relationships, we will negotiate on your behalf to ensure you have the best possible offer from your preferred property.
Contract
We’ll contract the hotel or venue of your choice, carefully reviewing each clause to reduce your liabilities and provide flexibility.
The process is efficient, strategic and personalized!
What We Do
Strategic Site Selection conducts unbiased hotel and resort site searches, meticulously plans site inspection itineraries, and negotiates contracts on behalf of our clients. We do all this while creating strategic alliances with key industry leaders. The continued goal at Strategic Site Selection is to build a world class organization that is considered the best at what we do while creating a great experience for each one of our clients and partners. We believe our relationships have been key to our success and we take pride on providing a free service, a friendly team and continuously saving you time and money.
In addition, Sandbox Events, a branch of Strategic Site Selection, is our full-service event management agency. Sandbox Events offers a full suite of a la carte event services, for a fee.

According to Our Clients
Working with Strategic Site Selection is nothing short of an absolute pleasure. As a department of one, finding the time to research venues, negotiate upfront and manage multiple projects is a challenge but with the expert assistance of Strategic Site Selection, the process is manageable. Strategic Site Selection is a one stop source for managing multiple events, contracts and navigating the negotiation process. I am forever impressed with their roster of contacts and knowledge of venues in multiple cities. They are a team of true professionals and experts in their field and it is an honour to call them partners.

Discovering venues and meeting clients face-to-face is something we take absolute joy in! We will be in Ottawa between February 6-9th to attend industry events, tête-à-tête and meet with customers to gain new knowledge of what our team can offer you from this great city. Reach out if you have questions about sourcing Ottawa for meetings and events.
Ottawa Meet Week is a great opportunity to make connections and rediscover.
Join us and connect with this team who will be there!
