YOUR MESSAGE Communications.
Information.
These can take many forms, but one of the most influential is the meeting environment.
Whether you are doing crisis communications directed at an employee audience... encouraging your sales staff to reach new goals... introducing a product to the press... fostering good will with industry colleagues and competitors... polishing the prestige of your product or services in their industry... or bringing news to an audience of members or investors... a meeting can serve to focus the attention and enhance message impact.
Unfortunately, all too often the original "message" gets lost within the dynamics of "the meeting" and all that's left is an expensive event with seemingly no point other than the event itself.
E.P. Events is a new and different kind of meeting planning company. We have developed from a Public Relations foundation and are always sensitive to the issue of "what this meeting is meant to accomplish". There is no pure altruism in the real world, no "free lunch"; every event has its purpose, be it a convention spouse's outing or a creatively catered break during a press seminar, and being mindful of these intents ensures that the costs and efforts will not be wasted.
E.P. Events has the ability to bring your message (from a simple "you're doing a great job" or "here's our new product", to complex and serious issues) to your intended audience in formats that will enhance the enjoyment, impact, and recall of that message.
YOUR MEETING What kind of meeting is best for your message?
Do you need to run seminars eight hours a day over a three-day information-intense weekend? Do you need to have a high-impact luncheon in a setting that will bring attention to qualities of a product or service? Do you need to provide instant live information to many locations at once? Do you need to create excitement about a message that might otherwise be overlooked?
There are almost as many meeting options as there are messages. At E.P. Events we know this and will work with you to put together the most effective combination of location, program, catering, decor, and printing to make your meeting a success. We will not "cookie cutter" your meeting into "format A, menu B, and ballroom C". Each event has a unique purpose, and we strive to achieve that in every aspect of its execution.
Hiring E.P. Events to work on your meeting opens up a world of possibilities:
Press events: press outings, tours, conferences, multi-day seminars, multi-location electronic and satellite links.
Catering functions: from formal banquets to informal meeting breaks, indoor, outdoor, or special location breakfasts, lunches, dinners, and cocktail events with speakers, panels, A/V presentations, and/or entertainment.
Seminars: from intense training to easy and fun informational events.
Convention services: from running a press room to setting up a banquet for the multitudes, we can work with your big-event needs.
Recreational: tours, trips, sporting events, all tailored to enhance the reception of your intended messages!
YOUR MEANS E.P. Events knows how quickly you can run through an event budget. Growing out of the public relations field (remember the old adage: "P.R. spends less than advertising spills"), we have experience in stretching dollars for optimal impact. We are also a very "lean and mean" operation, so you won't be paying for unnecessary overhead when you work with us.
E.P. Events offers a wide spectrum of service, from complete meeting and event planning where you define your goals and budgets and set us to work on your event project, to by-the-day "free-lancing", so you're never buying more meeting planning than you really need.
In today's economy it is difficult for companies or associations to maintain staff to run major events. Think of E.P. Events as a source of experienced "extra pairs of hands" for your own meetings.
Brendan Tripp, CMP, E.P. Events' principal, draws on fifteen years of experience to develop compelling meetings and events. We invite you to discuss how E.P. Events can make your next project a success.
In addition to meeting planning, E.P. Events brings public relations expertise to your project, and we can handle releases, development and printing of information kits, and electronic recording and transmissions of your meeting!
