We handle every detail
We understand that planning and managing an event of any size can be a huge undertaking and requires a lot of time and focus. Many organizations will appoint someone to be responsible for the planning and management process. This takes valuable time away from that employee, who already has a primary job role, and imposes the work on someone who may not be qualified to properly handle the complexities of producing an event, such as: permits, licenses, insurance, liabilities, health & safety and working with event specific suppliers. Our company is here to manage all of the aspects of planning and executing your event so you can focus on your primary business operations, and properly participate in your event while it is taking place.
Our Process
Engagement
We meet with clients during the discovery phase of their event to truly understand thier needs and desired outcomes. This engagement is critical to the development process and will establish a great working relationship from the start
Planning
We take it from here. Our team creates a project timeline, workback plan, and identifies major milestones to ensure the planning process stays on track, on time, and on budget. We have regular meetings with our clients to keep one another informed as the process unfolds and to troubleshoot any issues as they arise.
Production
Our team manages the onsite set-up, execution and strike of the event so our clients can focus on their guests and key interested parties and participate in their own event, without the stress of ensuring everything will go according to plan.
Post Event
We work with clients to create post event reports, surveys, budget management, stakeholder engagement, and identify areas of opportunity for their next event or production.
