Many organizations have expressed the need
for consulting assistance by experienced
meetings
and exhibition industry professionals
who have no other agendas.
Commercial firms that offer consulting services frequently
have limited or no experience in the meetings and exhibition
industry or the association business. As a result, a considerable
amount of the client's time is spent teaching and training the
consultants.
Frequently the consulting firm's written reports must be edited by
the client's staff to capture more traditional word usage unique to
the meetings and exhibitions industry and more familiar to the
association volunteer governing bodies.
In addition, in many instances commercial firms offer multiple management services, therefore many organizations are reluctant to use them because they believe that the recommendations may be influenced by what is in the continuing interest of the commercial consulting firm rather than the association's.
