Here’s a new meeting planning tip for you - this comes from Jennifer Winn of Winn Events, who just won our May Stellar Tip Contest…

Client Contracts

“A good contract with your client can take the guesswork out of planning your meeting. It makes the planning experience better for both the client and you as the planner because the questions are answered from the start as to who is responsible for what. It covers you if the event is cancelled or the client needs to cancel your services. The contract outlines your payment terms so you can hold the client to them.”

Do you agree with Jennifer? What do you always include in your contracts with clients?
