What is "helmsbriscoe"

HelmsBriscoe is a meetings procurement and site selection agency headquartered in Scottsdale, Arizona. Founded in 1992 by Roger Helms, HelmsBriscoe has a network of more than 1,200 Associates operating in 55 countries, each of whom averages 12 years of hotel, meeting planning and industry experience to deliver meetings worldwide. In 2015, the company booked $1.075 billion in rooms revenue, representing 5.45 million room nights and more than 42,000 programs. HelmsBriscoe was the first company in its space to deliver one billion dollars in group room revenue to the industry in a single year, which they first achieved in 2014.

Because HelmsBriscoe works on behalf of their clients and not as a hotel representative, hotels all over the world are researched to find the best location and price based on the criteria their clients provide. The process consists of an Associate discussing the client’s program needs and creating request for proposals ( RFP) to evaluate potential venues. The company will track down the answers, follow up with the hotels, and manage the process on the client’s behalf, all at no charge to the client.
