We Pay Attention to Detail
BSC is incredibly detail oriented. We do not rely on our past accomplishments nor do we run every meeting from the same checklist. We continue to learn to do our job better and we believe we have learned something from every single meeting we have run.
For BSC, every meeting is personal. Every meeting is a challenge met and surpassed. At every meeting it is our job to get it right. And we do.

On-site Operations
Planning is complete. Now the hard part begins: on-site management and operations:
- BSC staff arrive well in advance to oversee the move-in and set up
- Handle on-site supplies and track missing Freight
- Staff and vendor communications network
- Pre-conference meetings are held with hotels, convention centers, security, caterers, exhibit decorators, the audio visual company, and the transportation providers
- Registration and security staff are trained.
- Electronic connections are checked and checked again.
Budgeting & Finances
The conference has to be a success for attendees (content and collegiality) and it has to succeed financially too. Every meeting requires sound financial planning, implementation, and reporting. BSC understands how to make your budget work realistically. We know that you want value for your dollar (or euro), a manager that stays within the budget, and the certainty that the maximum amount of income that can be collected, will be. We deliver on those needs.
BSC’s experts bring sanity, organization, and meticulousness to your meeting finances.
Meeting technology now changes annually. BSC has all of the tools to run a dynamic event, including:
- Online Abstract Submission and Review
- Online Advance Registration
- Electronic Faculty Invitation and RSVP System
- On line evaluation and continuing ed credits
- Integrated Meeting Apps – want to get rid of your printed program? You can now.
- WiFi – it doesn’t just happen. It has to be carefully planned to usage and location.
