  As a VP of Global Accounts, I offer a no-cost site selection consulting firm for meeting planners, team travel managers & tournament directors. I want to assist anyone who needs to book group hotel rooms of 10 nights per night or more (corporate, incentive, association, tournaments, sports teams, etc). I will assist with every step of the meeting planning process, from confidential site searches (no hotel sales managers calling or emailing you hourly for updates) to contract review with standardized contract clauses and more. HPN Global places over $400,000,000 in annual group hotel business worldwide and we pass this buying power to our clients. HPN Global guarantees no out of pocket cost and there are no contracts to sign. I would be thrilled to assist you with your upcoming meetings, events, conferences & team stays.
