Choose Guthrie & Associates for expert corporate or association meeting planning, conference management, or event services. You won't find a better combination of capabilities and attention to detail anywhere. Every task is achieved through careful planning and a special eye for detail.

Our services are wide and varied and include:

Site research & negotiations

There are multiple points to consider when selecting and contracting a site. Negotiating on behalf of our clients requires that we fully understand what is important to them and determine their expectations and goals. Once those are established we can offer advice and recommendations in order to create the most effective contract.

Our goal is to ensure that we obtain the most favorable terms possible and limit our clients’ liability. A contract is not about winning or losing, but about making sure that the contract meets the needs, provides the benefits, and is fair for all parties.

Let us locate the perfect venue for your company and help you invest your time and money more effectively.
