About Us

About Us

L.D. Miller & Associates is a woman owned and operated conference management company that provides exceptional meeting management services.

About Us

L.D. Miller & Associates was founded in 2000 as an independent meeting planning and expositions company that adds additional resources to organizations that outsource meeting planning and trade show functions. 

Services include site selection, hotel and vendor negotiations, program development, speaker procurement, sponsorship program development and sales, conference management, meeting logistics, menu planning, audiovisual coordination, special event planning, marketing and promotions and on-site management.

Many organizations don’t have the resources or the expertise to manage site selection and contract negotiations. L.D. Miller and associates has more than 30 years of experience working with hotels and convention centers throughout the United States, Canada, South America and Europe. 

What sets us apart from other organizations that manage site selection, is our experience executing and managing the events from start to finish. For organizations that don’t have a meeting planning staff, we will manage site selection, and then execute the event from planning to bill review. 

If the room block is large enough, there is little or no cost to the association or corporation for our services. That’s right; this includes the execution and management of the entire event. Please call us for additional information on this service.

Whether you are booking an association meeting or a smaller corporate function, L.D. Miller & Associates can locate, evaluate and contract the ideal venue and manage all or just parts of the event on your behalf.

Once we identify hotels or venues that match your criteria, we negotiate rates and concessions, and facilitate the contracting process. You receive the highest possible return on your meeting investment- because your event has been negotiated and secured by an organization with the purchasing power that comes from booking over a million dollars in room nights annually. You remain in control throughout the entire process. We represent your interests!

 We become an extension of your staff as opposed to an outside vendor. We will maintain pick up reports and history reports for each meeting with which we are involved.
