Where We Add Value
We focus on the elements that have the greatest impact on program success:
-
Securing the right venue and negotiating favorable terms
-
Aligning program elements with client objectives and priorities
-
Delivering a seamless, high-touch guest experience onsite
-
Managing key stakeholders, including hotel partners, sponsors, and VIPs
Selecting the right destination is one of the most important decisions in the success of a meeting or event. While the hotel plays a central role, there are many additional factors that must be considered to ensure the destination aligns with your program objectives and overall experience.
Hamlin & Company provides experienced, industry-informed guidance throughout the site selection process—helping you navigate the many details involved and ensuring each recommendation is thoughtfully aligned with your goals. These services are provided at no cost to you as part of our hotel and resort site selection agreements.
​
Here are three strong, client-facing steps that align perfectly with your positioning:
Strategic Destination Alignment
We begin by identifying destinations that align with the purpose of your program, attendee profile, and overall objectives. This includes evaluating accessibility, seasonality, overall appeal, and how the destination supports the desired experience—whether that be executive-level focus, incentive-driven excitement, or a balance of both.

Venue & Contract Optimization
Once the destination is defined, we source and evaluate properties that best fit your program needs. This includes a detailed review of guest rooms, meeting space, flow, and overall suitability—along with negotiating favorable contract terms, concessions, and protections on your behalf.
Experience & Execution Considerations
Once a hotel or resort has been selected, we will negotiate the contract on your behalf, ensuring that the entire process is seamless and as beneficial as possible to your bottom line. Hamlin & Company & Hamlin & Co. Travel makes certain the latest clauses and trends are incorporated into your contract to protect you every step of the way. We take pride in our work and realize the importance of building strong relationships with hotel partners to ensure a win-win for all parties involved.
