We sure do! We start with selecting event elements and vendors, beginning with the tech itself and encompassing audio-visual and production companies, design companies, silent auction partners, and more. Bids are collected and reviewed with the client. If preferred, we serve as the primary contact for outside vendors in all contract negotiations for services and products associated with the event, ensuring that needs are met and the event stays within budget. If applicable, we will work with venues and vendors to develop cost-saving packages and preferred inclusions.

For us, the event is not over after the platform is closed or the final session is complete. Post-event, we use the tools available within the selected platform to create and evaluate post-event reports, which can include attendee engagement data, sponsor interactions, exhibit booth traffic, survey and poll answers, and more.
