Introducing ORTRA Conferences Management and Meeting Planning Services

For the past 32 years Ortra has conducted and organized a variety of international and local conventions, exhibitions, seminars, weekend meetings, etc.

Our goal is simply stated: to create the ideal environment in which information can be effectively communicated, insuring that every participant has a satisfying and valued educational experience. This means meeting strict standards of excellence at every event we manage, devoting intense attention to every aspect of the event from venue selection to solving individual attendee problems, presentation mechanics and multiple format take-away materials.

Our staff form a dedicated team linking client objectives with appropriate communication strategies and key tactical skills, including first class conference planning capabilities, tested senior management, oversight, solid national promotion and publicity track record.

Equally important, we are financially and legally accountable, insuring that client budget and policy objectives are met, with an emphasis on strict adherence to prudent financial management and specially to client budget parameters.

ORTRA participates in the planning strategies for an event from day one. We help create theme and objectives; we develop the conference or seminar format, design, help create and implement the staging and logistics.

Our detailed advance work includes budget structure; date and site selection; speaker/trainer identification; food, beverage, travel and lodging arrangements; facility room selection and staffing, as well as design, production, printing and shipping of conference material.

Our concerns include constant liaison with hotel or conference center staff; audio-visual/computer requirements; all presentations and hand-out materials; financial arrangements such as credit card registration, as well as all arrival and departure transportation details, tourist services and trade show services.
