Event Cancellation Classifieds

Lockheed Martin events have recently been cancelled at the properties shown below. To avoid significant cancellation fees,

Lockheed Martin must rebook business at these venues in the near future. If you have an upcoming event that may be

scheduled at any of these properties, please contact John Dirba of HelmsBriscoe at 214-351-9096. Please keep in mind

that an event of any size will help offset the costs owed by Lockheed Martin.*

* Rebooking an event at one of these properties will not reduce your rates or provide a credit to

your event. The overall benefit is to the Corporation since Lockheed Martin will be released of the

liability and will not have to pay attrition or cancellation fees owed to the property.

2012 Global Event Services Accomplishments

Thanks to the support of Lockheed Martin event planners, the LMEvents Program has registered 300 external events and

achieved savings of more than $1.63 million in 2012. Below are some of the top achievements of 2012:

Estimated overall compliance with CPS-418 (as measured by event registrations) has increased by 17 percent in

2012, from 34 percent to 51 percent as of October. Three of the five Business Areas now have compliance over

50 percent.

Global Event Services distributed a survey to over 1,600 Lockheed Martin employees who were identified as stake-

holders in the event planning process. With a 30 percent response rate (469 responses), we now have better in-

sight into the event planner experience level across the Corporation and the Lockheed Martin event planner data-

base is more accurate.

Global Event Services developed and distributed an LMEvents overview presentation to educate event planners on

the new policy, process and supplier agreements. The presentation was a major contributing factor to the 17 per-

cent increase in CPS-418 compliance.

Global Event Services and Lockheed Martin Legal have negotiated brand-specific versions of the Lockheed Martin

hotel contract addendum throughout 2012. The custom Omni version is complete. Dialogues continue with Hilton

and Ritz Carlton.

Global Event Services completed negotiations for a customized letter of intent with Marriott International Legal for busi-

ness opportunities that are $10,000 or less. When the letter of intent is utilized, there is no cancellation and no at-

trition if the sleeping room block is released 3 weeks out and meeting space is released 72 hours out.

Global Event Services signed agreement extensions with HelmsBriscoe for venue sourcing, Corporate Travel Planners

for attendee registration web sites and Plannernet for staffing support.

Global Event Services added a new service offering – Avis Chauffeur Drive by WeDriveU. Chauffeur Drive allows

planners to take advantage of Lockheed Martin’s low Avis rates and then hire a chauffeur to pick up, drive and

return the Avis vehicle. This offering can save over the traditional car and driver or shuttle service.

Global Event Services began reaching out to international Lockheed Martin locations to make them aware of the

LMEvents Program and supplier agreements.

Global Event Services and Travelocity Business completed the installation of Dinova preferred restaurants into Trip-

Case for Lockheed Martin travelers. TripCase, a travel management app, organizes important trip details including

flights, hotel accommodations and rental car reservations. Now, Lockheed Martin preferred restaurant options at

the travel destination will be displayed on the app.

For more information, visit the LMEvents web site.

LMExpenses Process Tips

December 2012

The following information will provide you with guidance when preparing your expense report in LMExpenses. You may access additional frequently asked questions by selecting the “Help” option from the LMExpenses main menu.

LMExpenses Will Be Offline on December 18 from 12PM – 12AM EST

To facilitate our year-end closing, LMExpenses will be offline on December 18, 2012, from 12PM – 12AM EST. LMExpenses taxable reimbursements paid through 12/31/12 will be reportable on the current year W-2.

Each business area has its own year-end cut-off and some have already closed their books for 2012. However, on the evening of December 19

th, the LMExpenses system will

post the last business area journal entry file for 2012.

Policy requires that we submit the expense report and supporting documentation to the expense report approver as soon as practical—normally within five business days of trip completion. It is especially important to submit your reports timely during the end of the year.

Changes to Business Travel Policy Coming Soon!

CPS-417, Business Travel Policy, has been revised, renamed, and divided into two documents:

CRX-325, Business Travel, is a Cross Function Procedure. It briefly outlines the travel program, including compliance,

Travel Card, and required travel reservation and expense systems.

TVL-001, Business Travel Handbook, supplements CRX-325 and includes a glossary, traveler’s checklist, Lockheed

Martin’s travel standards, and instructions for preparing expense reports. A link to TVL-001 is available at the

top of CRX-325.

The Travel Handbook will include the detailed how-to procedures that are currently in CPS-417. The handbook will also in-

clude a contents page with hyperlinks, enhanced receipt requirements, and clarification of roles & responsibilities. Compliance

of both policies and procedures is mandatory. The current draft is available for review in Command Media, and final approval

is anticipated in January 2013.

Employees are encouraged to view our “Show-Me How” training videos and review other materials on the LM-Expenses Help-

desk website.

Coming in January!!

Delta Airlines Earns Business Travel News Top Rating for 2012

If you are traveling with gifts during the

holidays, wait to wrap your presents at

your destination. The TSA may opt to

open that wrapped gift and spoil your

hard work. The TSA will now permit small

snow globes in your carry on, as long as

they have 3.4 ounces or less of liquid.

November Airport Statistics

Corporate travel managers again rated Delta Airlines No. 1 in this year's Business Travel News Annual Airline Survey.
