© 2011, Educational Institute Importance of the Association Market Associations fill 30 to 40 percent of the rooms annually at major hotel chains The annual association convention typically includes a trade show and generates considerable revenue for the host hotel and city (multiplier effect) Associations derive 32 percent of their annual income from conventions, exhibits, and meetings Associations receive income from convention registration fees, subleasing space to exhibitors at a profit, and by selling advertising space to exhibitors in publications and programs 2

© 2011, Educational Institute Importance of the Association Market Associations seek sponsors within the exhibitors for breaks / receptions / key cards / lanyards / other stuff The association market is the most frugal and many properties prefer to book a limited number of association meetings. Association meetings can be flexible with dates and often sales will try to book them to fill in gaps between corporate business. (Summer / Holidays) Often do not produce significant F&B revenue and this has an impact on hotel / local outlets. 3

© 2011, Educational Institute 4 The Meetings Market by Total Expenditures Total Direct Spending: $ Billion While corporations provide a larger market in total number of attendees and meetings, the spending of associations is about two times that of corporations, mostly because associations generally include a trade show as part of their conventions.

© 2011, Educational Institute 8 What Association Meeting Planners Look For Adequate exhibit space—Should be close to housing Attractive location Convenient for travel Convenient for doing other business Resort/recreation location Service Reassurance that whatever problems arise during a group’s stay, the property will be able to handle them (continued)

© 2011, Educational Institute 21 Voluntary Attendance, Convention Duration, and Price Voluntary Attendance Properties can help promote the event Promoting spouse attendance means double- occupancy revenues, increased length of stay, and additional spending in the facility Convention Duration National conventions average 3 to 5 days Smaller events last 2 to 3 days Seminars and committee meetings last 1 to 2 days Auxiliary events before and after conventions When exhibits are part of convention, convention lasts at least 3 days (continued)

© 2011, Educational Institute 26 Small associations often cannot afford the services of a full-time executive director Many outsource the management to a multiple-association management company These companies have the potential of bringing several convention bookings to your hotel Association Management Companies
