Why We’re Special

Along the way, our event management team has picked up some unique skills and the ability to:

  • Chat with conference attendees about everything from nuclear weapons to business banking to the treatment of binge eating disorder
  • Simultaneously balance complex budgets, last minute speakers, multiple hotel room blocks, and VIP requests with a smile … and a martini
  • Successfully manage a convention center full of simultaneous breakout sessions and an equal number of anxious presenters
  • Reduce the carbon footprint of the meetings and special events we manage
  • Negotiate with everyone from world leaders to the local hot dog vendor for a building grand opening
  • Communicate the key messages of a nonprofit using the latest audio/visual technology but on a budget better suited to shadow puppets
  • Demonstrate the value of trade shows and a warm chocolate chip cookie
