Our group travel team designs event travel solutions that are, well, uneventful
Far from boring, uneventful group travel is travel that’s so seamless you hardly notice the details. At FCM Meetings & Events our group travel experts can do all the heavy lifting to manage logistics and to get your delegates where they need to be. Taking a load off your business! Then your meeting or event will be remembered for the all the right reasons – and you can take the kudos.
We're people, people
Creating extraordinary events – anywhere and anytime is FCM M&E’s motto. And going hand-in-hand with creating extraordinary events, is extraordinary travel experiences too. That’s why FCM Meetings & Events has a dedicated and experienced group travel team that balances the logistical needs for your event with the nuances and requests of individual travellers.
Getting people to your meeting or event can often require strategic planning and military precision. Whether you’re hosting ten guest speakers for a week-long national roadshow, or over 3000 employees for a one day corporate event.
With FCM Meeting & Events pulling out all stops for an event to remember, ditch the stressful DIY travel arrangements and let us manage it all. Our in-house group travel specialists understand the unique challenges of event travel, when a missed flight can throw an entire conference schedule into chaos.
Working alongside the event planning team, we can co-ordinate all travel scheduling and logistics simultaneously. Between them, our dedicated team has booked group travel for hundreds of happy customers. So, you can rest assured that leaving the fine details to us is a hassle-free and sure-fire way to get people to your event on time – and on budget!
From A to B, and beyond
Whether your group need a direct domestic flight from A to B, a charter flight for just your people, or a multi-destination international itinerary, our group travel team can manage all the end-to-end logistics.
The FCM Meetings & Events team can pull out all stops for a luxury incentive trip for high flyers, curating an unforgettable travel experience. Or they can organise travel for a complex multi-day trade show, where you need to get the most out of attendance at the event, whilst keeping delegates moving so you can operate BAU (Business as Usual).
Drawing on the strength of our supplier relationships, and our understanding of group operational challenges, we can streamline group flights, group baggage handling, grounds transfers and accommodation check-in. Hotel meal packages can be arranged to tie in with your event schedule and if your delegates are itching for adventure, we can organise a tailored group day trip to get them out of town and out of their comfort zone – from abseiling to wine tasting.
We’ve got your back
Nailing group travel is not just set and forget. The vagaries of weather, and unexpected changes, have a way of moving the goal posts. However, with 24/7 support by an in-house travel team based in Australia, not a call centre, we are always on hand to help. With FCM’s customised event and travel App, we can sync schedules and communicate instantly with travellers to provide them with everything they need to know – and nothing they don’t.
Our group travel team can also do the heavy lifting when it comes to working with your risk management policy and providing duty of care. We monitor global travel conditions, can arrange group travel insurance and provide advice on visas or entry requirements. Managing DEFAT registration, monitoring global conditions, organising travel insurance and ensuring visa and passports are all in order.
