Meetings Made Easy, LLC

We kicked off SKO 2026 in Mobile, Alabama and this city is on the rise!  From a new downtown airport opening this October, to a brand-new hockey arena, to increased cruise ship traffic coming through the port… Mobile is building momentum in a big way. Excited to be here and even more excited about what’s ahead. #mobile #AL #eventprof #sko2026

One of our favorite questions to ask at the MME Experience “What’s been your favorite part so far?” And the answers always point to the same thing, real conversations, real relationships, and time spent with the right people in the room. MME Experience is built for meaningful connections with pre-qualified clients and trusted partners who are shaping what’s next in our industry. Next stop: Houston | November 30 – December 3 🔥 If you’ve been to MME before, you already know, and if you haven’t, this is one you don’t want to miss #eventprof

Most event challenges don’t originate on-site. They surface much earlier during sourcing and contracting. When expectations aren’t fully defined upfront, even the best venues are left making assumptions. And assumptions, on either side, are where programs lose efficiency, flexibility, and momentum. The strongest programs I see start with alignment before outreach ever begins: • A clear objective for the meeting • Budget parameters that reflect reality • Defined decision and signing timelines • An accurate understanding of attendee demand • A thoughtful plan for how the program will flow When those elements are established early, hotel partners can respond strategically pricing appropriately, structuring contracts responsibly, and preparing to deliver at a high level. That’s when sourcing becomes collaborative instead of reactive. The takeaway isn’t about pointing to where things go wrong. It’s about recognizing where clarity creates better outcomes for everyone involved. Planning doesn’t fail at the venue. It succeeds when the foundation is built correctly. #eventprof

One of the most important parts of my role happens before a contract is ever signed!  This week, I’m in Dallas conducting site visits at Omni Las Colinas, Thompson Dallas, and Sheraton Dallas. Hotel site visits are critical for both our team and our clients. They allow us to assess flow, layout, service levels, and overall fit—especially for large-scale programs of 200+ attendees. What looks good on paper doesn’t always translate on site. If you’re already sourcing for 2027–2029, you’re setting yourself up for stronger options, better alignment, and fewer surprises down the line. Early planning creates leverage, and better programs. #eventprof #detroit

#Snowmageddonupdate ‼️ It's been a wild ride for me and some of my clients around the nation over the past 72-hours. All I can is this..... Meeting brokers don’t just negotiate contracts. They protect the program when plans shift. When timelines change, numbers move, or something unexpected comes up, that’s where an MME broker steps in — navigating adjustments, protecting leverage, and keeping the program on track. Because the real value isn’t felt when everything goes perfectly. It shows up when it doesn’t. If you’re planning ahead and want someone in your corner when it matters most, I am the guy that will always have you back. What are you dealing with right now because of this storm? Let's hear below 👇🏼 #eventprof

When something like Snowmageddon hits,
who’s actually managing the chaos? Flights are delayed.
Arrival days are blown up.
Everyone is affected — nationwide. And suddenly the questions start flying: 
• What does the force majeure clause state?
• What flexibility does the hotel and group have?
• What does the client/stakeholders want to do?
• What does leadership expect?
• Who’s making the call? If you don’t have a meeting broker…
who are you calling? This is exactly why brokers exist.
Not when everything is smooth, but when it isn’t. Because in moments like this, contracts matter.
Relationships matter.
And having someone in your corner matters. We’ll get through it, but only if the right people are at the table. So I’ll leave it here:
💥When weather, strikes, or disruptions hit… who’s advocating for your program? #eventprof #meetingbroker

Last night, our team had the honor of attending the SITE Southern California Holiday Event & Charity Gala at the iconic La Quinta Resort & Club, and it was everything this industry represents. 👏 Connection, community, and giving back. This year’s theme, Relationships Matter, couldn’t be more aligned with who we are and how we show up. In this business, relationships aren’t a tagline, but they’re the foundation that makes every partnership meaningful and every event extraordinary. As we close out the year, it was powerful to gather with so many peers, planners, partners, and friends who make our industry what it is. Thank you, SITE SoCal, for bringing our industry together in the most intentional and inspiring way! #eventprofs #SITESoCal Kimberley Ponsoll Dean Fisher 🌎 GLOBAL EVENT SOLUTIONS Julia Hsieh
