Case study: a pharmaceutical company reduces conference costs
The Challenge: A large pharmaceutical company was spending too much on conferences, without having full insight into how much money was going where. Tough procurement and T&E policies made it difficult to streamline spend, while supplier relationships with varying payment types and terms made it confusing to reconcile budgets and see the big picture. They needed a solution that made it easier to manage their budget and stick with preferred suppliers.
The Solution: With an American Express Corporate Meeting Card in place, the company was able to set spending limits for each conference and see how much was being spent with each supplier, in turn aiding annual procurement negotiations with preferred suppliers. Additionally, they were able to strengthen supplier relationships because the American Express Corporate Meeting Card pays vendors almost instantly, reducing the need to allocate admin time to complex purchase order and invoice-payment processes.

Frequently Asked Questions
A Corporate Meeting Card supplements your existing Corporate Charge Card program by creating a single account that allows you to consolidate and track all spending related to meetings and other events—both in-person and online. The American Express Corporate Meeting Card makes meeting expenses accounting easier by giving you visibility and control over all your meeting and event expenses, all in one place.
When you implement a Corporate Meeting Card program for your company, you can make physical or virtual Corporate Meeting Cards available for departments or individuals. Your Account Manager will work with you to customise a program, choose physical or virtual Cards, determine controls to drive value, and set up data feeds. Custom reporting is available via American Express @ Work and you can use this information to track spending against your budget, set parameters for how much and with whom employees can spend, and negotiate volume discounts with preferred suppliers.
American Express Corporate Meeting Cards are Charge Cards, not Credit Cards. A Charge Card must be paid in full each month and as your spending and repayment patterns evolve, so do your purchase approvals. This can be helpful for some of the large payments often associated with events and meetings, such as venue down payments, keynote speaker fees and group travel costs.
An American Express Corporate Meeting Card can be useful for companies that either host or attend in-person or virtual events of any kind, such as conferences, trade shows, summits or meetings.
