Corporate Event Planners

Corporate & Government Event Planning

Creating experiences, not just events. When people attend a corporate event as passive observers, they’re less likely to be engaged in the event and to continue engaging with your company over time. We help people immerse themselves in an experience—not simply attend an event.

Rather than listening to a lecture, they’re participating in vibrant Q&As or live polling sessions organized through our business conference planning services. Rather than making mindless small talk with one or two people at a networking event, they’re equipped with a PURL (personalized URL) that leads them to a broad group of people they can make meaningful connections with.

Even before the event, they’re welcomed into a social media group where they can meet movers and shakers in their industry and share insights on trending topics. And for virtual or hybrid events, rather than sitting at a screen watching a talking head, guests are drawn into dynamic, interactive team building activities.

If you’re promoting a charitable initiative, we ensure that attendees aren’t just hearing about it. Our corporate event planners make it hands-on so guests are watching a multi-media presentation or meeting the people it benefits or participating in service activities themselves.

We find ways to get your audience moving and engaging all of their senses, ensuring that they are “in the moment” for a truly memorable experience.

Turning attendees into brand ambassadors. Whether you are planning a community fun run or an employee Christmas party, every guest in attendance has the potential to become a powerful brand ambassador. They can be energized to spread goodwill about your company wherever they go, but ONLY if they associate the event with a great impression of your organization.

That’s why a corporate event is so much more than a single, disconnected occurrence. This event is about your corporate culture and goals so we take time to understand those before we start planning. We learn about your target audience and what resonates with them.

People want to understand the humanity behind your company–your origin story and the way you are making the world a better place. Our corporate event planners help educate people about your mission and draw them into that mission.

This can start long before the event, with social media marketing and consistent messaging through a unified handle and hashtag. This ensures that people are more engaged coming into the event and that they continue engaging–and sharing–long after your corporate event.

Innovating. The same old events won’t capture anyone’s imagination, but people will always remember when they’ve seen or experienced things for the first time. We don’t follow, we lead! With a strong reputation for trendsetting business event planning services, our team knows how to set your company apart from the rest. From the food and entertainment to the design and itinerary, we give your guests something fresh, innovative, and worth gushing about to others.

Connecting you to the best vendors. With over 10 years in corporate events planning, we are well-networked with the best-of-the-best venues and vendors in the Washington DC, Los Angeles, and Dallas areas. Our network of vendors includes caterers, audiovisual technicians, printers, decorators, photographers, security personnel, entertainers, and more.

We know which vendors have special expertise in corporate party and corporate conference planning, as well as which vendors would be the best fit for your goals and corporate culture. After all, even the biggest-name vendors may not be the appropriate choice if they don’t align with your vision or style.

We communicate with the vendors on your behalf, managing timelines and contracts so that you don’t have to get tangled in the details.

Increasing engagement with technology. The pandemic forced us all to up our tech game as we grappled with ways to connect safely. The big takeaway was that we could use tech more and better–not just for social distancing but for reaching a broader audience regardless of health conditions and for improving engagement during live events.

During the pandemic, we became trailblazers in technology, leveraging tech innovations to make every corporate event better. If you are looking to turn your live business conference or business party into a hybrid one, facilitating more guests, we can provide all of the digital expertise to make that happen.

And since the last thing you want is for your virtual guests to feel like detached observers, we’ll take care of that, too. Our corporate event planners will orchestrate production so that they feel like they are right in the middle of the action, participating along with your live guests.

Want a slicker check-in process? We’ll equip your corporate event with QR code technology for a simple and convenient check-in for your guests. How about a digital ecosystem that allows guests to meet before the event, engage during the event, and stay in touch after? We’ve got it covered.

Want digital swag instead of trinkets that end up in the trash? We can create promotional codes for online discounts, access to photos and videos from the event, and more. The technology is here. We’ll help you distinguish yourself by unleashing its full potential to upgrade your next corporate event.

As a black-owned event planning company, we have unique insight into the importance of promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion at your event. These elements show through in the language surrounding your event, the food that is served, the entertainment and speakers you choose, the accessibility of the venue, and more.

I am the Founder and CEO of the National Events Council, the organization that increases awareness of qualified business owners in the events industry who are Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC). As such, I dare say that few people care as much as I do about supporting your inclusion goals.

My team of corporate event planners and I will ensure that your event reflects the highest level of inclusivity so that every guest feels valued, respected, and welcomed.

Maximizing your budget. Whether you’re working with a small or large budget, you’ll want to make every penny count. We can help you prioritize your budget from the start, ensuring that you’re spending your money in ways that best align with your event goals. We can also leverage our insider industry knowledge, bulk-buying clout, and vendor connections to ensure you’re getting the best rates for products and services.
