Welcome to Schron Associates!

Founded 25 years ago and based in New York City, Schron Associates is a professional business services company specializing in meeting & event planning and group incentive travel. Globally, what we do is often called "MICE" (Meetings, Incentives, Conventions & Exhibitions) or "business tourism," which includes MICE as well as corporate educational travel, business study seminars, etc. We particularly specialize in management retreats, employee and client appreciation trips, business study tours and other such events of under 100 guests that require high quality venues and customized services as well as a high touch, personal approach.

As a family business with decades of experience, we do things the old fashioned way: with attention to detail and a personal touch. Unlike our big, brand-driven competitors that take on hundreds of clients at a time, we serve a smaller, more select client base. We accept only a limited number of assignments each year from clients who appreciate attention to detail, personal service and our no-nonsense, results-oriented attitude. We offer customized solutions based on unbiased advice and a focus on serving one client at a time.

Schron Associates is committed to putting together quality events at a reasonable cost that achieve your strategic objectives. Whether you're a small organization that lacks in-house resources or a large organization that needs some knowledgeable specialized assistance, we can be of service. We like to think that our background in marketing, finance, and public relations - not just the travel and events business - helps us understand your objectives and how business events can be used to achieve them.

We offer a comprehensive service for meetings, events and incentives, from designing incentive criteria and meeting agendas to negotiating prices and overseeing program execution and follow-up. Additionally, we have many years of experience in taking corporate and affinity groups on cruises, and have developed expertise in "business tourism," planning and escorting corporate group travel to explore new markets or to study factories or other facilities. We promise that, from start to finish, your program is handled personally by a member of our management team who is both accessible and accountable to you. We work with you to develop customized solutions that meet your need for strategic results and return on investment.

We know we're good at what we do, but you don't have to take our word for it. As a small business, we have no big marketing budget and we rely on word of mouth, so check out our mailbag to see what clients and their guests have to say about us, from as near as the heartland of America and as far away as the South Pacific. Our services aren't for everyone, but if you appreciate integrity, unbiased advice, attention to detail, and responsive service, they may be for you.

Please contact us if you have any questions, or if you would like us to make a proposal for your next meeting, event or incentive trip.

"Meetings Industry Guru"
From September 24 to 28, 2007, Rob Schron was again featured as the "Meetings Industry Guru" of the week on the Meetings Industry Megasite, the online home of leading industry publications Successful Meetings and MeetingNews. The "Meetings Industry Gurus" section is where industry experts are invited to sound off on hot issues, and you can read Rob's most recent observations by clicking here.

It's academic...
Schron Associates is the subject of a case study presented by students in the prestigious Master of Science (MSc) in Strategic Tourism Management program at the CERAM Sophia Antipolis European School of Business in Nice. The study looks at us as an example of a small company in the MICE industry coping with the challenging post-9/11 environment here in New York City. For more information about the study, please contact us.

"Around the World in 45 Minutes"
In 2004 at the United Nations, this entertaining and educational presentation on international meeting planning was given by the International Relations Committee of Meeting Professionals International (MPI) here in New York City, with Rob Schron as the scriptwriter. The event was sponsored by over a dozen National Tourist Offices (NTOs) from around the world, and drew an audience of over a hundred people. When you need to plan an international meeting, incentive or business education program, contact Schron Associates. From Abu Dhabi to Zurich, we have the capability and the connections to make it a success.
