MODULE 4: REPURPOSE AND CONQUER

What we do:

Collaborating with the best the events industry has to offer, we will facilitate all of the moving parts to ensure your event can be executed with precision and professionalism. Through main stage speakers, breakout sessions and more, our priority is to keep guests engaged and excited about what’s to come. During this phase, our focus will be:

  • Vendor Presentation
  • Contracts & Booking
  • Speaker Selection/Conversations (if applicable)
  • Sponsorships
