About Management Contact Us

Selection of a meeting site, whether for a meeting three weeks, three
months or three years away, is a critical factor in the success of a meeting.
The process for site selection begins with GCA’s professional approach to
meeting management.

GCA has over 25 years of experience in site selection on a worldwide
stage and will assist you in securing the perfect venue for your next
meeting. Site Selection occurs following an in depth analysis of your
meeting objectives, desired format, physical requirements and members
interests before we seek out potential venues.

GCA’s approach is simple:
• Research resorts, hotels and venues that offer unique settings and negotiate cost effective rates.
• Review and evaluate potential sites.
• Provide recommendations for a minimum of three potential venues.
• Act as a liaison between the organization and the selected site.

Worldwide meetings and events.
