Contracts and Negotiations

A successful event relies on a fair, well-drafted agreement...

The phrase "according to the contract" should bring you relief, not fear.  The contract is a blueprint that outlines details and procedures, supports expectations, and facilitates cooperation throughout the planning process to ensure the ultimate success of the event. 

AMC Network has negotiated thousands of contracts, including:  citywide and in-house hotel contracts, convention center contracts, catering agreements, and all types of hospitality vendor contracts.  Most of AMC's team has negotiated from both sides of the industry, which gives us a greater understanding of the venue's perspective, what can be negotiated, and how to overcome objections and find solutions for challenges.

Our team of seasoned negotiators will ensure no detail will be overlooked or misunderstood and you have maximum protection for your event.  At AMC, we:

• Evaluate event history, anticipate potential challenges, and employ equitable solutions,

• Limit your legal liabilities, reduce your risk, and protect your interests,

• Reduce the bottom line costs for you and for your attendees,

• Facilitate the planning process, lessen planner frustration and increase attendee satisfaction,

• Maintain a positive working relationship with the vendor,

• Communicate options and analyses of the contract language,

• Create detailed overview and performance checklist,

• Provide support throughout the event for any contractual challenges.
