The company charges clients for strategic planning, management, and execution of meeting programs via flat project fees, hourly rates, or volume-based management fees (common range: 10–18% of total event spend); in 2024 the US meetings industry averaged $1,200–$1,500 per attendee so a 12% management fee on a 500-attendee conference with $600K vendor spend yields ~$72,000 in core revenue, reflecting the primary compensation for expertise and labor.

Revenue comes from industry-standard commissions—typically 10–20% on hotel bookings—plus overrides or rebates when volume thresholds are met; for example, preferred-partner rebates can add 1–5% on annual spend over $500k (2024 agency benchmarks).
