We meet with your team and unearth the goals, desires and needs of the event. We focus on delivering the goals, assist in budgeting, and offer suggestions and thoughts on how to ensure the goals and needs will be met.  We do this by using our knowledge of industry standards and logistics management.  The collaboration does not stop with our initial meeting. We understand things change and we are here to help you.  We believe we should be judged by our flexibility during the process.

• We will source, negotiate and manage your design vision

When the budgets and design vision have been established, away we go! This is an all-inclusive phase. We are focused on what you want and what we need to do to get you there. There hasn’t been much, if anything, we’ve said “no” to.

Collaboration comes full circle with this step. It’s important to know what went well and what can be improved. At the end of our events we sit down and discuss what you liked, what could be better and brainstorm some amazing ideas for your next event. Regardless of if we work with you again, we want to set you up for success in the future. 

• Post-conference meeting with you to obtain your thoughts
• Meetings with vendors to obtain their feedback and ideas for future meetings
• Final report that details out historical data from registration and hotel room blocks. Ideas and suggestions for the future.
