Our Ideal Candidate

Our ideal candidate will be Cvent-certified or working toward Cvent certification and possess at least  2-4 years supporting a meeting planning department, either for an agency or within a busy corporation.

Enjoying being part of our team and being truly committed to creating memorable events for our clients is a must.  A frequent contractor of ours once asked us how we always manage to work with only good people – our team, our clients, our vendor partners.
