Testimonials
AMC is the most cost
effective, professional, service-oriented group in the entire
meeting business. Able to leap tall RFP's in a single bound! AMC
Network provides exemplary service and real savings in two areas of
event planning that most often get overlooked; venue searches and
contracts. Andrea & Co. are by far the most knowledgeable,
personable and effective in their field.
-- Kim Cohagan and Stan Teliczan, Full Moon Event Productions
I have been a client of AMC Network for close to six years.
Having worked on dozens of shows with them, I can say that they are
the most professional, competent, thrifty, and creative event
planners in the industry. Their negotiation skills have saved me
precious event budget dollars over the years and their
professionalism has saved me many hours of work and worry. In
addition to all this, they are a pleasure to work with.

I’ve worked with Andrea Hargrave and Jill Pierce at AMC Network
for over 10 years and they are truly the best in the industry. They
have been our key vendor for hotel research, site visits and
contract negotiations for F5’s annual International Sales
Conferences and Sales Incentive Reward Trips. AMC Network has a
strong background in hotel management and ensures contracts are fair
for all parties. They also have the tools and resources to assist
and/or manage all or any portion of logistics for any type of event.
I’m continually impressed by their creation of detailed information
and spreadsheets.
They strive to go above and beyond what is expected for any given
project and succeed, always keeping budget in mind. Their attention
to detail, professionalism and integrity are of the highest quality.
I would highly recommend AMC Network to any meeting planner,
association or organization…they are a true pleasure to work with
and will help save your company money.
-- Mary Chenaur, F5 Networks
I needed to push my somewhat
skeptical board of directors in the direction of partnering with
professional meeting planners, and that meant there was no room for
error in who I selected for us to work with. Luckily, while employed
in another organization, I’d already seen firsthand the smooth
process and great results that AMC delivers. So I didn’t hesitate to
reach out to Jill and her colleagues again, and I’m so glad I did!
In every situation, they’ve proven themselves to be creative,
flexible, ready to manage every contingency with the poise and
competence of the true professional, and always on our side. They
are the best!
-- Susan Dudley, SPSSI
Vertafore is fortunate to have
AMC Network as a resource in the planning of both our internal and
customer facing events since 2007. We have seen the benefits from
their work ethic, fierce but fair negotiations, vast industry
relationships and high standards translate to our programs resulting
in a quality product up which we are proud to put our name. I have
recommended AMC Network to several co-workers and industry contacts
because I believe in the high quality work they do and trust that
they will find great pleasure and success in working with the AMC
team!
-- Jaime Salazar, Vertafore
The Ovarian Cancer National Alliance has worked with AMC Network
on our national conference since 2003 and their knowledge and
expertise save us time and money every year. Their detailed
attentions to the needs of our participants continue to exceed our
expectations and have earned them popularity among our guests. Best
of all, they are fun and easy to work with, which eases the burden
on our staff during the conference. In a fast-paced, impersonal
world, AMC Network’s personal touch and customer service are a rare
find.
-- Elizabeth Denlinger, Ovarian Cancer National Alliance
Thanks to the incredible coordination, research, outreach,
conceptual and technical work and AMC’s creative ideas and
innovations, we surpassed our ambitious goal of almost doubling last
year’s network. Daniel Pearl Music Day was celebrated in 39
countries at over 400 events thanks to AMC Network and their
talented team! No matter what the issue, the task or the goal AMC
always found a way to do it. No member of the AMC Network team said
something could not be done; they always came up with creative ways
for everything to be done no matter the number of limitations and
obstacles we faced. Bringing in appropriate technology such as
SharePoint greatly streamlined the organizational tasks and
documentation of Music Day, facilitating coordination of this global
event and building a strong base for next year. Thank you AMC, for
standing with us to defeat bigotry and hatred. Thank you for going
the extra mile and then more. Truly, it is the passion, dedication
and talent of people like Andrea and company who, by responding
enthusiastically to Daniel Pearl Music Day, inspire others and
change the world.
-- Marianne Scott, Daniel Pearl Foundation
After five years of searching for the right hotel on the right
dates, then endless negotiations to achieve an equitable contract,
we decided to do things differently. We engaged AMC Network to
survey potential cities and hotel sites, identify the best-qualified
hotels that responded, and negotiate the hotel contract for us. AMC
has worked promptly, accurately, and diligently to help us achieve
our goals for our meetings. We've achieved a higher level of
interaction with our selected hotel staff and feel like we have a
professional advocate in our corner to help us with the inevitable
glitches that come from these types of projects.
-- Robert Michel, The Dark Report
Your professionalism came through all along the way from the
online registration system to your attention to every detail. We
appreciated your exceptional on-site management as well, addressing
surprises and problems immediately and taking care of everyone so
skillfully. I read through all of the evaluations and everyone
indicated how much they appreciated the way the conference flowed so
smoothly. You all deserve the credit for such reviews.
-- Diane Frankel, James Irvine Foundation
AMC Network is a great partner. They are thorough, detailed,
customer service oriented and cost effective. They are experienced:
they know the hotel business; they know the client (MS) and their
events. Due to this knowledge, they are able to set up appropriate
space and hotel blocks, as well as contract the best possible terms.
They know all sides of the business; they can explain to one player
the actions of another. They never "take sides" and treat all
players fairly, looking for the best solution for all. In addition
to all this, they are friendly, fun people who make a tedious but
necessary process enjoyable!
-- Kris Monro, Microsoft
AMC Network provided site search, contract negotiation, hotel
management, and other services for my events. I am extremely pleased
with the service provided - they understand the business and are
very competent and professional. I always feel AMC Network is
watching out for my best interests!
-- Joan Hoshino, Microsoft
