Here is a small sampling of the world class events produced by our team: The Franklin Institute - The Franklin Institute Awards - 2010 thru 2012Since 1824, The Franklin Institute has honored the greatest women and men of science, engineering, and technology. The Franklin Institute Awards are among the oldest and most prestigious comprehensive science awards in the world.Bryn Mawr College - Katharine Houghton Hepburn Medal Ceremony, Tribute Video & Gala Reception - 2011 thru 2013Nearly 300 guests filled the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts’ Samuel M. V. Hamilton Building on February 12th, as Bryn Mawr College’s Katharine Houghton Hepburn Center presented the 2011 Katharine Hepburn Medal to Helene Gayle, president and chief executive officer of the international humanitarian organization CARE, in honor of her efforts to fight global poverty and reduce the transmission of HIV/AIDS. Mara Liasson, National Political Correspondent at NPR, served as the master of ceremonies.Subaru Cherry Blossom Festival of Greater Philadelphia - 2003 to 2010Subaru CBF is a two month, multi-faceted event celebrating Sakura Matsuri - the century’s old homage to cherry blossoms. This tiny event humbly began with 50 guests and grew to over 30,000 people and was developed, in part, with our guidance and expertise. Over 40 regional events filled the calendar including a public Sakura Sunday Tree Planting Festival, International Sake Festival, a Japanese foot parade in Center City and a black tie Gala with an extensive, art driven silent auction.

Our team personally supported Elwyn’s VP of Development by focusing on database and constituency management, full event production and sponsor fulfillment. Capital Pride Festival, Washington, DC - 2002 to 2009We personally managed a 500,000 square foot site from the moment Pennsylvania Avenue closed Saturday night through its re-opening Sunday evening. Over 250,000 attendees flocked to this day-long festival from nearly every state in the country. As skilled logisticians, coupled with our unflagging dedication to the success of the event (plus luck & patience) provided attendees a friendly, efficient and practical venue to experience over 300 food, beverage, entertainment and information kiosks. This event remains the largest one-day, outdoor festival in Washington, DC and the 3rd largest Pride event in the US.Surprise International 50th Birthday Party Celebration - 2006Our client desperately wanted to surprise her husband with a birthday party he would never forget… we invited 28 guests with custom-designed-hand-delivered-orchid-filled-treasure-chest invitations.
