The CMP or Complete Meeting Package is a great option for first-time and budget-conscious meeting planners. Hotels and conference centers that focus on meetings usually have some deviation of this package. Essentially, a CMP includes all the basic elements of your meeting:
- Guest Room
- Breakfast
- Morning Break
- Lunch
- Afternoon Break
- Dinner
- Meeting Room Rental
- Standard A/V (audio/visual) equipment (e.g. flip chart and projector)
- and, the “++” taxes and gratuity
As a former sales and conference planning manager for the hospitality industry I will bring you more posts on meeting and event planning. But, for now, save yourself the hassle of arranging all the details ‘a la carte’ and find a hotel that offers a CMP.
