A national conference, every year since 2020

Client: A national education Association

Scope: Full event production · 3,700 attendees · multi-day program

The challenge: The association's annual conference is its largest source of revenue and the one time each year its members gather nationally. It needed a production partner that could run a multi-day program for thousands of attendees in a different host city every year, without losing continuity from one edition to the next.

What we did: We took over full production in 2020 and have run every edition since, in cities including New Orleans, Indianapolis, Portland and Denver. Each year covers venue and hotel contracting, registration, a program of general sessions and concurrent breakouts, an exhibit hall, and speaker management. On-site, we run operations alongside the convention center, A/V and general service contractor teams.

The result: Peak attendance of 3,700, growing from 2,400 under our management. [CONFIRM: add an attendee satisfaction score or exhibitor renewal rate if shareable.]
