An Extension of Your Staff
We have client relationships that span decades. Our goal is much more than just one great event: it’s a long-term relationship. We take the time to get to know our clients’ cultures, values and goals. We know our clients are under tremendous pressure to demonstrate event ROI, and we ensure they deliver by using our proprietary planning process. It keeps projects on schedule, budgets under control, stakeholders aligned, and critical details from being overlooked. We know that successful conferences and events require far more than logistics. We bring the strategy.
We Roll with It
Last minute project? No problem. Tight budget? We can work with it. Event production is a 24/7 business and we are up to the challenge. “Roll with It” is one of our core values.
So, What’s With the D in Special D Events?
Our “D” stands for Detroit. It’s our home, and it’s our edge. In addition to serving as a national third-party meeting and event planning agency, we are Detroit’s longest-running destination management company (DMC). We know the city the way only a local can: the iconic venues and the under-the-radar ones, the restaurants worth the reservation, the suppliers who pick up the phone.
