Regina Tourism had a fabulous idea for Meeting Planners: first class seats at the Fleetwood Mac concert.

VENUES partnered with Regina to set the stage.

Refreshments were served at the CUBE Gallery in the ever hip West Wellington Village featuring the delectable food of Tulips and Maple Catering.

Attrition clauses are commonly included provisions in a written contract between the hotel and the meeting planner.

The clauses provide for a sliding scale of costs for meeting rooms and food and beverage to the planner by the hotel when the planner fails to fulfill his/her specified percentage of contracted room nights or its specified percentage of food and beverage or both.

A well executed attrition clause helps
protect both the venue and the event

Paying attention to these clauses is key to managing your event and budget. Review how attrition clauses will interact with other parts of the event contract, and be clear on the implications of the attrition clause on your meeting budget in relation to the outlined revenue thresholds.

Ultimately you do not want to be in a position where you need to spend money that is not in your budget nor do you want to pay penalty fees.
