While some companies turn away from RFPs, others have adapted their approach to deliver value in new\u2014and increasingly important&#8211; ways. Today, RFPs not only drive time and dollar savings. They help companies maximize traveler satisfaction, manage risk, and reduce carbon emissions.<\/p>\n<p>Based on research conducted in North America and Europe, this session examines the role of transient hotel and meetings RFPs. It addresses a number of questions including:<\/p>\n<p>Do companies conduct RFPs? How often do companies conduct RFPs with hotels and meeting venues? How often do they negotiate outside of an RFP process?<br \/>\nThe state of hotel RFPs today: Which types of questions are included in hotel RFPs? Which types of rates do companies negotiate? How is the RFP process changing?<br \/>\nMeetings: How do companies source venues for company-held meetings? Do they have a defined sourcing process they are required to follow? What benefits do they realize from this process?<br \/>\nBased on GBTA research sponsored by Cvent<\/p>\n<p>Speakers:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-17085\" src=\"https:\/\/gbta.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/marks300.png\" alt=\"marks300\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gbta.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/marks300.png 300w, https:\/\/gbta.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/marks300-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/gbta.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/marks300-12x12.png 12w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><br \/>\n&#8211; Mark Sharoff, Sr. Research Manager &#8211; GBTA<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-26387\" src=\"https:\/\/gbta.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/tracie300.webp\" alt=\"tracie300\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gbta.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/tracie300.webp 300w, https:\/\/gbta.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/tracie300-150x150.webp 150w, https:\/\/gbta.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/tracie300-12x12.webp 12w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><br \/>\n&#8211; Traci Volpe, Senior Manager Customer Success Manager, Cvent<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-26388\" src=\"https:\/\/gbta.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/taylor300.webp\" alt=\"taylor300\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gbta.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/taylor300.webp 300w, https:\/\/gbta.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/taylor300-150x150.webp 150w, https:\/\/gbta.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/taylor300-12x12.webp 12w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><br \/>\n&#8211; Taylor Embler, customer Success Manager, Cvent<\/p>\n<p>Start Date\/time: 11am EST<br \/>\nEnd Dtae\/time: 12pm EST<\/p>\n<p>Location: Zoom &#8211; Webinar<\/p>\n<p>Pricing: Free<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Description: Hotel and meetings RFPs remain a key pillar of managed corporate travel.
