Event Planning




 Is Your Association Aiming to Take Its Conferences and Tradeshows to the Next Level?
You've Just Found How to Get There!

Whether you’re considering expanding an existing event into international markets or starting local with high hopes for the future, GEM's consulting expertise can help take you there.

You know that to go from initial concept to ribbon cutting takes clarity of mission, attention to detail, and consistent follow-up.

Yet today non-profits strive to do more with reduced staff, outsourcing tradeshow and floor management. Small-group volunteer efforts fail to build the knowledge base and industry contacts necessary to repeat or expand on a one-time conference, seminar or exhibition. Small and medium-size organizations find they can't afford to hire the large association management firms to run their events. Still others don’t know where to start when taking their event overseas. What do you see standing in your way?

You Benefit From Our Experience

GEM brings to each business partnership the over twenty years’ experience working on five continents necessary to carefully analyze markets, budget, negotiate contracts, anticipate the unexpected, and provide the advance planning it takes to minimize any challenges on the day. Whether it’s a seminar for thirty or a thousand-booth tradeshow, GEM and its network of industry partners will work with you to eliminate the pitfalls that stand in the way of the successful execution of your event.

Just like the song – “ain’t no sunshine when she’s gone!”  Michelle Gentzen did her tasks so well that after she left we literally had to create two positions to do her job.  Now that she is in business for herself as an associate with GEM Global Events Management and ConferenceDirect, we are hiring her to do many of the same things – regional sales meetings, sales incentive trips, etc.  Michelle’s depth of experience and ConferenceDirect’s horsepower in terms of contract negotiations is the 1-2 punch that gives us an edge.
