Get To Know Beth Lawrence, CMP
Hi I’m Beth.
Strategic Event Expert | Type A (+) Person | Top 50 Voices in Events to pay Attention to
I’m powered and propelled by helping nonprofits and community-driven organizations host impactful, high-quality events and experiences.
“ As I took inventory of the clients I’ve loved to work with, I noticed a particular roadblock that I help big-picture thinkers navigate: making achieving their big-picture event strategy goals easier, whether running a first-time event, planning an annual meeting or developing a quarterly program.
The luxury lies in the details, and that’s what I’m here for!”
About Me:
I know the feeling all too well: you have a full plate at work, and suddenly an event, conference, or workshop is added, and you have to find a way to make space. Every day, you have to play so many roles as a leader, remaining agile while ensuring that your workload is completed in a timely fashion. Whether you are in events, a Chief of Staff an HR professional, marketing, administration, or another leadership position, you need an expert event planner on your side to bring your big vision to life.
In my career, I am known for, quite simply, planning and executing high-quality, human-centered events. I’ve planned successful multi-day conventions, innovation festivals, fundraisers, incubator programs, statewide historic site tours, and helped 90% of my clients pivot to hybrid experiences and back again. I have been planning live events since 2008 when I planned a National Marketing Conference for my University. My career has taken me in many directions, and I bring those unique experiences to each client event—from my time in event operations and program planning to my years in sales, marketing, and brand launches, I understand your event.

I have a natural attention to detail, a knack for identifying efficient systems, and a love of gathering community, so it is likely not surprising that my roots are in the hospitality industry. I’ve been honored to work in positions in event planning, operations, sales, and event marketing for brands such as Dave & Buster's, Brûlée Catering, and The Palm Restaurant, as well as Austin-based startup Snap Kitchen before my career as a freelance event planner took off.
Making the world a better place to live for all (and for all time) is something that has always been important to me. In addition to my longtime work in the Philly startup community, I’ve donated my time and talents to countless organizations, including Head Count, the Gift of Life, the Human Rights Campaign, and the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.
I was awarded 2018’s Best Independent Meeting Planner by Pennsylvania Meetings & Events Magazine and awarded Arcadia University’s 40 Under 40, Class of 2020 honor. I’m the author of Navigating Events, Entrepreneurship, and Innovation in a Global Pandemic, and I love to speak at local colleges and universities.
I live in a small town in New Jersey with my husband John and my boxador Diesel, and am proud to remotely support clients all over the world, helping to turn their ideas into events, and dreams into plans.
