What We Do

It’s impossible to be everywhere you need to be, all at once, when you’re planning and hosting a professional conference, workshop, or meeting. That’s why the Event Management team works diligently behind the scenes to plan and manage your event. We know the questions to ask, can work within your budget, and are accomplished at every aspect of meeting and event management from planning, to online registration (including collecting fees via credit cards and checks), to on-site registration, to tracking down the speaker’s microphone that never showed up on event day.
