As two of the largest and most respected companies in the meetings and events industry, Maritz and Experient now will expand their collective ability to deliver a full range of exceptional event experiences.
Maritz Travel, a global leader in full-service meeting, event and incentive travel programmes for corporate clients, has recently acquired Experient, another top provider of meeting and event services to associations, tradeshows, corporations and the US government.
Maritz’ end-to-end service delivery model will be enhanced by Experient’s ability to provide additional full and select services (including registration, housing, site sourcing/contract negotiation and lead retrieval). As a result, the combined companies will be able to tailor services that better align with clients’ specific needs. Clients also will benefit from 12 regional locations, deepened industry influence and the ability to serve clients across corporate, association, tradeshow and government markets.
Maritz Travel and Experient are long-time leaders in the business events industry. While individually they represent significant business event market share – and lead industry innovations such as a model approach for client- and audience-centric experiences – together, they are even stronger. In 2011, their combined impact represented more than $2 billion in industry volume spend and nearly three million travellers served.
