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.

--Veronica Bell, Google

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

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

I wouldn't want to produce events without the help of AMC Network. When they do a site search for me, they bring such a high level of expertise to the search. They work efficiently. They are fierce negotiators. They save my clients money with every search they do. I heartily recommend them.

--Erica Welch (Team Member for Dev Days)

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

and more comments from our vendor partners...

I have been in the hotel industry for years and have had the opportunity to work with countless meeting management companies as well as site selection companies. In my 17 years, I've never seen a company with as much professionalism as AMC Network. I've now worked with AMC for several years and they not only represent their clients very well, but also have the utmost respect from people in our industry

--Jim Davis, Hyatt Hotels & Resorts

For nearly a decade, I've enjoyed my partnership, and friendship, with AMC Network. Of the plethora of organizations to which to outsource, AMC Network definitely rises to the top. I'm guaranteed a fair, upfront, no nonsense negotiation with AMC. I especially appreciate the fact that the majority of players at AMC have the experience of a hotel background, thus they understand the needs, and idiosyncrasies, of our industry. I look forward continuing this valuable partnership for another decade and beyond!

--Jon Clark, Hilton Hotels Worldwide Accounts

They are very detailed and present the information we need in a well organized and easy to understand format. They are partnership oriented and helpful in finding solutions to challenging situations. They are true professionals.

--Robert G. Scypinski, Hilton San Francisco

Over the years we have appreciated the professional relationship we have with AMC Network. They are tough yet fair, demanding yet understand what can be accomplished. We value our partnership with them and look forward to their direction on future successful programs in Atlanta!
