From the perspective of ones who have been there / done that:
It’s not easy to run a conference!
In addition to the Herculean / Einsteinian task of developing spot-on content and attracting the ideal mix of speakers .. there are no fewer than 10 zillion details (we’ve counted) that need to be coordinated.
And if just ONE of those details is done poorly – or overlooked altogether – you’re stuck with a gaping hole in a jigsaw puzzle that desperately needs to be a complete picture.
Let us help.
WHY SHOULD YOU HIRE US?
We know what we’re doing. We’re not amateurs. We’ve been in the trenches since forever, and have no hesitations about getting our hands dirty to get the job done. we know how to roll with the punches, think on our feet, get the job done – and not have the attendees even know there’s been a ripple.
We’re good at what we do. What would YOU do if ..
- a featured speaker cancels the day before the conference?
- the meeting facility double-books your conference room?
- a blizzard prevents half your speaking faculty from arriving the day they’re scheduled to speak?
- the temps you’ve hired to help onsite – even after you train them personally – are (a) well-meaning but ineffectual (b) clueless and couldn’t care less (c) belligerent (d) significantly more interested in knowing the times scheduled for their coffee breaks rather than your conference agenda?
- a session is about to start and you have no idea where the speaker is?
ALL of these challenges – and more – have confronted us. In each case, the conference went on as scheduled, and attendees were none the wiser.
