"There are very few business relationships that can blossom, flex and mature to survive the growth that the OAUG has demanded of a meeting planner and association services company. Meeting Expectations has consistently demonstrated forward thinking, pro-actions, and responsiveness ahead of the walls and barriers the OAUG would have experienced through our growth -- conferences, global initiatives, and technology sophistication. It is a compliment to Meeting Expectations that we have grown, and we have not outgrown our relationship with Meeting Expectations I think we can all agree we have a world-class partner in Meeting Expectations."

"Meeting Expectations is the best conference planning organization I've worked with in the industry. Their quality service far outshines the rest. Meeting Expectations makes it easy to exhibit at the conference, because it's well organized and easy to coordinate every aspect from ordering show services to registering staff. Meeting Expectations did wonders for Optum's first annual User Conference, helping to make it a huge success. Their responsiveness and attention to detail will continue to make them a pleasure to work with. They certainly know how to meet a client's expectations!"

"Absolutely one of the best investments we've made. Meeting Expectations was a tremendous resource. We relied on them to manage everything from budget to menu selection and all the hundreds of details in between. Our conference was a huge success. Their pre-conference and on-site support was great, and we even came in under budget. We've set a high bar for next year's event -- and will be using Meeting Expectations again, without a doubt!"

"BEA began working with Meeting Expectations immediately following our first users conference in 1996, where we developed a real appreciation for all the hard work and minute details involved in pulling together such an event. Since then, with the assistance of Meeting Expectations, BEA has hosted five additional annual users conferences--in which they been twice as large as the prior year's meeting. The entire Meeting Expectations crew has helped us comfortably grow into this expanding event, providing a consistently high level of service. The feedback on their performance we get from our international attendees is always extremely complimentary."
