Making the case for the destination.
Winning the opportunity to host an international conference takes more than a strong destination. It takes a compelling case for why the association, its members and its programme belong there.
GConvene works with associations through the bid process, bringing together strategy, destination insight, stakeholder relationships and execution planning to build a bid that is both persuasive and practical.
From the first expression of interest.
We manage the journey from opportunity identification to bid submission and presentation.
-
01
Understand
We begin with the association's requirements, priorities, audience and expectations.
What does the association need from the destination?
-
02
Position
We identify the strengths of the proposed destination that matter to the association, its members and its programme.
Why this destination?
Why this city?
Why now? -
03
Build
We develop the bid narrative and bring together the information, data, proposals and supporting material required to make the case.
-
04
Mobilise
A strong bid needs people behind it. We coordinate with local institutions, venues, professional communities, industry partners and other stakeholders required to demonstrate the capability to deliver.
-
05
Present
The final bid needs to come alive. We support bid presentations, pitch preparation, presentation development and the coordination required to take the proposal from document to decision room.
A bid is more
than a document.
It is a promise of what the conference could become.
- The scientific environment
- The professional community
- The destination experience
- The infrastructure
- The partnerships
- The delivery capability
We bring these elements together so the association can see not just where its conference could be held, but what it could become there.
Destination, ready to convene.
The right destination needs more than infrastructure. It needs the ecosystem around it. GConvene brings together:
From bid
to delivery.
Our involvement doesn't have to stop when the bid is awarded. With conference management capabilities across strategy, scientific programming, marketing, digital, commercial management, registration and on-site delivery, GConvene can carry the relationship from the initial proposal through to the conference itself.
The bid starts the opportunity.
The team takes it forward.
