AST Management
We have been working with Associations, Government and the “Not for Profit” Sector since 1992 and understand that fees and charges need to reflect the individual budget of the host organisation.
Our fees are structured to let committees “pay as they go”, expenses and progress payments can be made when the conference cash flow allows.
The committee can increase or decrease the level and cost of services used, as the conference gains some momentum.
It’s all about Transparency
With a major emphasis on quality and financial value, our transparent relationships with all suppliers focuses on adding value and credibility to your conference. Our dedicated websites, on-line registration hosting, registration and accounting systems, management of audio visual, lighting and staging components, all use the latest technology, supported by the vast experience and knowledge of our team.
If you are finding it difficult to establish what the real fees and charges are in your latest event management quote, give us a call … we will prepare an event budget for you that you can understand.
