What Our Clients Are Saying
As Executive Director of one of the largest
scholarly organizations in our field, I worked with Global Event Services on all our
hotel and location needs for over two decades. Global Event Services is not only a consummate
professional company, but they consistently bent over backwards to ensure I was satisfied
with all my communications with the hotel before, during, and after the
negotiations were completed. They remained as a steadfast resource and insulated
me from issues relating to any issues that cropped up with the hotels even years
after the contract was initially negotiated. Their connections at the highest
levels of leadership at the major hotel chains saved us some trouble more than
once. Their level of service and his integrity makes me comfortable recommending
them to any organization looking for an incredibly committed and knowledgeable
meeting planner. They not only negotiated some amazing deals for the Association
but served as an expert confidante to let me know when to step back and give in
to allow for a win-win contract that served my needs as well as those of the
hotel. They have the rare gift of being able to bring his expertise to ensure
everyone was satisfied with the outcome of all our negotiations.

Global Events have been our travel/hotel partner for the past 5 years and we have been very impressed with their service both to us directly and indirectly to our partner clubs who attend our tournaments every season. They are very detailed in their booking process and always attentive to the needs of our teams in terms of hotel requests and logistics to make the booking process seamless. I would have no hesitation to recommend Global Event’s and their team as a travel partner for a sports organization”

Global Event Services was instrumental in organizing our international professional billiard tour events. We produced the world’s largest tournaments in the sport’s history, and their success was buttressed by the professionalism and expertise of Stacey Johnson. Our events drew international competitors and spectators from over 40 countries, and required organizing 60,000 square feet of event space, and tens of thousands of hotel room nights.”

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Global Events since 2008 with an international association for professors of marketing where GES does the contracting and I manage all the conference details. Their expertise, connections and negotiation skills are some of the best within the industry. In addition to negotiating with the hotel and venues, GES negotiates multi-year contracts with PSAV with significant savings for the association. Their services are impeccable.”
