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!

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.

Today is Earth Day! We love working with our clients to find sustainable solutions and properties where they can bring to life their “green” objectives 💚
Here are a few simple things you can look for when selecting a hotel for your next event:
Does the hotel RFID wooden key cards instead of plastic? Made using bamboo, a sustainable and incredibly durable alternative to plastic.
Where is the food sourced? Buying from local suppliers reduces the distance that your menu has to travel, reducing emissions from transportation, as well as giving you the opportunity to support local businesses in the process.
Plastic use at your venue. Reducing plastic is another simple way to help reduce your events carbon footprint and avoids adding to the global plastic waste problem. Some easy swaps are switching out your plastic straws for glass or metal ones or changing up plastic water bottles for reusable glass ones.

In celebration of #GMID we wanted to take this opportunity to re-introduce you to the person who started it all; Mark Dosman, CEO of Strategic Site Selection and Sandbox Events.
We interviewed Mark and asked him three personal questions so that you can get to know him better:
1. If you could pick a new skill, what would it be? “I’d like to be able to throw a fastball 100 mph and break into the major leagues with the Blue Jays as a 40+ year old rookie. Close second would be writing music and singing.”
2. What is your favourite place that you’ve travelled to and why? “Whistler for sure – I have created such amazing memories with my children there!”
3. What is your favourite hobby? “Music – everything music. Listening, singing, learning the guitar...it is such an outlet for me.”
From our team to yours; Happy #GlobalMeetingsIndustryDay
