CH-Headshot.jpg

Cathy has built a career around her passion for planning, spanning hotel sales, corporate planning, associations, and pharmaceutical meetings. She is a planner who sweats the details, asks the right questions, and never stops learning. She has also mentored early-career planners, believing that sharing knowledge is just as important as gaining it.

 

Away from the industry, Cathleen puts that same commitment to community into action by volunteering at a food pantry serving more than 700 people each week.

Bianca_Mack_edit.jpeg

Bianca is someone who finds her groove in the details that make large-scale events run without a hitch, from hotel contract negotiations to the logistics that get thousands of attendees where they need to be, on time.

 

She thrives on solving the puzzle behind the scenes: managing housing and hotel logistics for national conventions with 25,000+ attendees, coordinating VIP and staff needs, and stepping in wherever the moment calls for it - whether that's overseeing Expo Hall session management or keeping a virtual meeting platform running smoothly for attendees around the world.

 

Pair that with an entrepreneurial streak and a genuine passion for mentorship (her daughter now works alongside her as a project manager), and you have exactly the kind of professional who brings both precision and heart to every event.

What sets Kelly apart: Known for transforming how organizations approach their events, Kelly brings a strategic mindset to everything from rebuilding in-person attendance to reshaping exhibitor relationships and developing year-round revenue streams that give leadership the breathing room to focus on growth instead of logistics.

 

Connie Mikels from NADA recently sent us this message: "Kelly was terrific in Las Vegas — she stepped seamlessly into the Floor Manager role and made an immediate impact onsite. With the Expo continuing to grow, we are thoughtfully evaluating how to leverage her expertise in a way that supports the team and positions us well for the months ahead." 

Whether guiding sponsor and exhibitor program repositioning or supporting organizations through periods of change, Kelly serves as a trusted extension of our client's team when it matters most.
