Elements That Last

Training With Purpose

A summer camp for adults? Why not! Conferences can be a boring collection of sessions, disjointed keynotes, and poorly staffed exhibits. Why not think outside the typical?

We engage with our association partners to create a dynamic conference experience that transports attendees into the message. We ensure the look and feel of the experience is in line with the theme or brand and that all elements fit into the larger structure. Our team sources hotels, books speakers, designs graphics and collateral, and build multimedia – all to support an integrated experience. Have a planning committee? No problem! We happily work alongside the planning committee and with volunteers ensuring engagement, ownership, and excitement about the conference. This won’t just be “another annual conference”.

Celebrating Achievement

Membership are the lifeblood of any association and celebrating their achievement is one of the keys to ensuring maximum engagement year over year.

Perhaps it’s an annual awards program recognizing high-achieving work submitted to a jury, or maybe it recognizing the advancing year-over-year sales numbers. Whatever the reason for celebration, members deserve more! We are the team behind recognizing 1,000 members during an awards gala (all of which came across stage) and the people responsible for celebrating decades of leadership and service. Don’t just present another plaque or crystal tower. Think beyond the plaque and us work with you to design the celebration of celebrations and see how much more engaged your members will be!

What Story Will Your Event Tell?

Let's Talk Strategy

Connecting With Buyers

Tradeshows and exhibitions are a key way of driving value to the sponsors who support an annual conference and the importance of vendor networking can not be underestimated.

Let’s face it, the 10×10 exhibitor booth with pipe and drape is boring. We don’t like boring and neither do your exhibitors and attendees (though they may not have the courage to admit it). Our goal is to design connection experiences that bring together your sponsors and vendors with your attendees. From interactive lounges and micro presentation stages to dinner around the exhibits – a movable networking evening we create the opportunity to deeper connection and conversation. Of course, the conversation is up to those attending, but we know that with the right environment (and perhaps a cocktail) networking is easy!

Elements That Last

Pen, notebook, water bottle and lanyard – the staples of the conference experience that last. Or do they?

All to often the items that organizations develop with the intent they are taken home are simply not. We believe the gold is in the details and our goal is to rethink all of the elements of the experience to ensure a lasting impression. Remember summer camp? Most of us do. Designing every element of a conference around the nostalgia of summer camp meant attendees wanted to keep the items give away because there was a memory attached to them. Yes, we’ll include a branded water bottle and even as mascot give away from time to time. In the end, we are firm believers that all the elements must come together to create an experience that attendees take home with them.
