CASE STUDY

Technology- PharmaSPEAK™ Speaker Bureau Portal: A centralized portal streamlines the entire speaker program experience by providing a single destination for program requests, speaker availability, and scheduling. Field representatives have real-time visibility into program status, confirmations, and event materials, while all critical documentation, including contracts, training attestations, and event records, is securely managed in one place. With hierarchy-based access controls and built-in compliance guardrails, the portal ensures efficient collaboration, transparency, and adherence to organizational and regulatory requirements.

Speaker Contracting: The speaker contracting team managed the full lifecycle of a 200+ member speaker bureau, overseeing nominations, debarment screening, FMV contracting, honoraria payments & tracking, expense cap management, and annual 1099 preparation. 

Meeting & Event Planning: Certified meeting planners executed over 800 live, virtual, and hybrid programs, handling venue sourcing, attendee registration, travel logistics, and on-site management from start to finish.

Creative: The creative team developed a suite of branded materials including custom invitations, HTML email templates, and promotional pieces, to support both live and virtual program delivery.

Operations: Behind every program, the operations team coordinated travel for 200+ speakers, managed 50+ vendor relationships, and handled F&B procurement, travel logistics, technology sourcing, and on-site support, ensuring a seamless experience for speakers, attendees, and sales teams alike,  delivering every program on time and within budget.

Reporting: The reconciliation team delivered audit-ready financial summaries, per-program spend reports, and Open Payments/Sunshine Act reporting, ensuring compliance and finance teams had complete visibility into program spending and reporting obligations. Through real-time spend dashboards, our portal's 12 standard reports, and customizable reporting capabilities, stakeholders could easily monitor performance, track expenditures, and access the insights needed for informed decision-making at every stage of the program.

Business Affairs: Our team provided end-to-end financial management and oversight, including SOW, PO, and deposit execution, ongoing spend tracking, and monthly invoice reconciliation to ensure budget accuracy and transparency. Regular monthly finance meetings kept stakeholders aligned on expenditures and forecasts, while quarterly business reviews delivered actionable insights into budget utilization, target audience engagement, program effectiveness, and speaker performance, enabling data-driven decision-making and continuous program optimization.
