About CSG & My Contact Information

My desire to give back to my clients much of what I have learned in my professional career to date, was the driving force behind the formation of CSG Meetings Management and Consulting.

With experience also comes perspective. I have a real understanding as to why meetings and events planned correctly and managed efficiently are beneficial in so many ways for organizations and companies alike. At the same time, I am also wise enough to appreciate that the business case for using my services will always be financially driven but include intangibles as well - such as utilizing experienced and knowledgeable strategic partners offering pricing agreements to 'challenged cost' contract negotiation to always having me, the Principal of CSGMMC as your primary point of contact. I see my role as one of a partnership – working with you and for you as an enhancement to your own team, delivering results and offering peace of mind. I will never agree that one can ever be 'too over-qualified' and always committed to exceeding your objectives while delivering a quality product with a high standard of customer service.

MY 100% COMMITMENT TO EACH CLIENT

“You're looking for the best so don't hesitate to put your trust in Christopher Greenslade for all of your event needs. Over the last five years, Chris has repeatedly negotiated exceptional event contracts for us that, without him, would have never been possible. His advocacy results in significant cost savings for our organization, and the concessions he obtains are always consequential. We are a small non-profit membership association with an even smaller budget, yet, Chris never made us feel small; indeed, each year we feel like we must be his only clients because of his responsiveness and attention! My board was doubtful when I first insisted we go with an outside contract negotiator, now they won't allow us to proceed in event planning without Chris Greenslade!”
