Meeting Expectations Acquires AetherQuest Solutions' Commercial Interests

ATLANTA - Sept. 4, 2013 - PRLog -- Meeting Expectations, a meeting and association management firm headquartered in Atlanta, is pleased to announce the successful acquisition of longtime collaborator AetherQuest Solutions’ commercial interests. AetherQuest Solutions (AQS) remains extant and will provide its services to federal agencies uninterrupted.

The acquisition of AQS’ commercial interests will expand and enhance Meeting Expectations’ technology offerings, particularly on-site meeting technology and infrastructure, and will further strengthen the company’s integrated service approach, which combines meeting management, site selection, logistics, registration, exhibit management, marketing and more. In the acquisition, Meeting Expectations, long a reseller of registration systems, gains a proprietary enterprise-level registration product called IPReg.

“Over the past 15 years, Meeting Expectations and AQS have worked as partners servicing many shared corporate and association meeting clients,” said Brian Meyer, president of Meeting Expectations. “We know their people, their work and that they share our passionate commitment to customer service. We are enthusiastic about the substantial opportunities this alliance offers our customers, and as the meeting and association management industry continues to grow and evolve, the pace of technological innovation will be a key differentiator for Meeting Expectations.”

The planned integration of the two companies is underway as of September 1, 2013 and clients are ensured smooth and uninterrupted service. The acquisition establishes a Meeting Expectations office at 6400 Arlington Boulevard, Suite 850, in Falls Church, Virginia, in addition to its Atlanta headquarters and offices in Chicago and Denver.
