Hello, I’m Steve Werntz, CEM, CASE
Event Strategist, ESN
When selecting the optimum destination or venue, it is dangerous to focus primarily on rates and space. Most of our clients report that significant cost factors emerge from AV, wifi, off-site needs, and production expenses. By approaching sourcing projects holistically, we protect our customers from add-on or surprise fees associated with these critical event expense categories. And thanks to the collective data and knowledge secured by contracting 4.6 million room nights annually, you can be confident you are receiving the optimum combination of rates, concessions, and terms every time.

“By some stroke of luck, we learned about Experient two years ago. It began with an inquiry to find a new location for one of our events and has blossomed into a relationship that is akin to having extended our staff! Experient uses their expertise to thoroughly investigate properties, to provide timely follow-ups and reminders, to negotiate contracts on our behalf, and provide candid and generous advice. Experient has taken the time and care to secure excellent locations and accommodations tailored to our needs and continue to be a tremendous resource to our organization.”
