Why Partner with a Corporate Event Planning Company?

Can you handle your corporate event planning internally, through your own staff or perhaps even your own internal event planner? Maybe so -- but why would you? Here are some reasons you're better off partnering with a full-time event planning company:

Experience. You've got better things to do than keep up with the latest event trends, technologies and practices. Our company, Ellen Michaels Presents, has been planning and managing events for over 20 years -- our average employee has over twenty years experience in this industry -- with expertise in tax incentive laws as well as international event management, customs and regulations. A top event planning company can put you at center stage anywhere in the world without even breaking a sweat.

Buying power. Unless you do nothing but corporate event planning day after day for years, you simply can't muster the sheer buying power of a world-class corporate event planning company. Our own company maintains national accounts and strong relationships with all the major hotel chains, giving us the negotiating power to secure the best possible deals and rates for our clients' events. And since we also handle the travel arrangements, we can refund our commissions on those arrangement back to our clients. It's always a huge advantage to have one team of experts serving as your total event planning and management package.

Protection. Serious event planning requires serious safeguards, and a dedicated corporate event planning company can provide those safeguards. For example, we have $5 million in liability insurance, $1 million in worker's compensation, and data security systems and procedures protecting our event clients from potentially disastrous mishaps. The ability to create and execute sound, detailed back-up plans is another huge plus.

The bottom line? For your next company event -- hire an expert event planning company!
