International Travel and Meetings, the elm Way

For your company to grow, you must broaden your reach, shaking hands with potential partners in foreign lands thousands of miles from your headquarters. At elm Planning, our team waters the seeds for smooth, productive, and meaningful international travel, an indispensable part of meeting and event planning. Our penchant for practical strategy and eco-friendly innovation ensure the best for successful international travel through the following:

Before negotiations begin, elm Planning makes holistic assessments of sites most suitable to your corporate needs. We pay attention to climate, as well as health and safety hazards including news-breaking epidemics and political instability. Once we’ve agreed on a destination, we delve into the specifics of your meeting. From here, we coordinate with appropriate venues, with attention to local events. We plan for your meeting’s success and avoid conflicts that could detract meaningful attendance of your international meeting. For instance, should you host a conference in Paris, we won’t schedule it with a major arts festival held the same week.

elm Planning extends its services from within the United States to destinations as far as Turkey and Thailand. For the best preparation before international travel, we often consult the expertise of a local liaison, or a knowledgeable representative of the country that hosts your meeting. Should your meeting concern pharmaceutical matters, a local, credentialed scientist serves as an appropriate point of contact regarding issues that attract stakeholders in all countries involved. Liaisons also facilitate communication with local governments that may heavily influence your corporation’s objectives.

elm Planning works to make international travel a smooth, amicable process. We consider your corporation’s budget to make comfortable and affordable travel arrangements, while reserving prompt ground transportation at the time of arrival. Additionally, we proceed with close attention to country-specific visa requirements and communicate with you and your staff members to ensure that everyone assigned to attend a meeting becomes or remains eligible to travel.

We understand that international travel seems daunting and extensive. At elm Planning, we separate the branches, simplifying global travel for successful meetings that in turn, expand your company’s reach. Contact us today to plan your next meeting.
