Nice Words from Nice People

“Working with SSS has been an absolute game changer for our conferences.  From venue selection to contract negotiations, their expertise and attention to detail have made the entire process seamless. Their strategic approach has saved our team time, reduced risk, and given us confidence that we're making the best choices for our events.  Working with Heather has been awesome, her professionalism, responsiveness, and ability to anticipate challenges have been invaluable.  ”.

“The Canadian Property Tax Association (CPTA) has been a client of Strategic Site Selections since 2007.  As a national association, we rely on their expertise to help source the best venues across the country for our Annual National Workshop, based on our specific needs and budgets.  When I first started in my role and someone explained what Strategic Site does, I honestly thought it sounded too good to be true—there had to be a catch. But after working with Mark and his team, I quickly realized they not only deliver on what they promise, they go above and beyond. From venue research and contract negotiations to post-event support, they are truly a one-stop shop for site selection. Their professionalism, responsiveness, and deep understanding of the industry, as well as their client’s needs make them an indispensable part of our planning process”.

  "The partnership between Strategic Site Selection and CG over the past number of years has been immensely valuable for our firm. Their exhaustive research and efforts into the world of international luxury hotels, combined with their relentless focus on negotiating the best possible room rates, space, and concessions, has saved us both time and money, which allows us to focus our attention on the needs of our internal clients and creating a luxury bespoke experience. The team at SSS have become part of our team, we could not do our jobs without them and are forever grateful for all their contributions. I would strongly recommend Strategic Site Selection to anyone organizing meetings and events, and would be happy to connect directly with anything to discuss my experience with them for over ten years".

“The partnership between Strategic Site Selection and Grant Thornton over the past number of years is one of immense value to our firm. The countless hours spent researching new and innovating hotels and destinations for our meetings and conferences, and the countless many more negotiating the best possible rates, space and concessions has saved us valuable time and money, allowing us to focus on the objectives, strategy and planning of our events. Not only have the team at SSS become of one our most valued strategic partners, they are an extension of our team. I would enthusiastically and strongly recommend Strategic Site Selection to anyone who books events and meetings!”

 “It’s about results with Strategic Site Selection! SSS provides a service free of charge, which saves our Association considerable staff time and resources. They are experts in the industry and familiar with cities/markets throughout Canada. Mark and his amazing team are well respected in the hotel industry, and no one should hesitate to consider utilizing SSS for their next event, no matter what the size! From Board Meetings across Canada, to our Annual Convention SSS has worked diligently on our contracts and gone to bat for us more than once. I am thrilled to be working with such an incredible group! You guys Rock!”

 “The experience, expertise and the network of Strategic Site Selection has allowed the Canadian Obesity Network to transform simple meetings into educational events worth talking about. Strategic Site Selection always does an amazing job and we wholeheartedly recommend them to all colleagues and associates as the “go-to team” – a team full of dedicated talent with a passion for helping (not-for-profit) organizations get a fair deal in a competitive market”.

– Dawn Hatanaka

 “I have had the pleasure of working with Mark Dosman and the Strategic Site Selection team since 2012, bringing them with me across four different organizations to support conferences ranging from 500 to 1,200 delegates. Their service is consistently timely, detailed, and highly intentional. They regularly go above and beyond—even assisting with contracts I’ve inherited that were not initiated by them.

Over time, they come to know my programs so well that I trust them completely to recommend the right properties, negotiate contracts, secure appropriate meeting space and guestroom allotments—all without needing my direction. Our annual conference is my association’s most valuable asset, and I would not trust anyone, including myself, to negotiate on its behalf without the expertise of Strategic Site Selection. I highly recommend them to any business event professional who is seeking a true strategic partner, competitive pricing, and the gift of time back in their busy schedule.”
