  • We’re quick thinking. We come prepared for last-minute changes and on-site problem solving. There aren’t too many hurdles that can surprise us! 
  • Our creativity. We love to shake-up programming or take a concept and bring it to life on the stage or the screen. If we can help you set the new bar for your event, then we’ve succeeded. 
  • We adapt. We use all of our previous experience running in-person shows to guide our clients' transition to virtual events. It's not a copy and paste job, each event needs to be rebuilt to reach your goals in this constantly changing environnment.

Recorded Future

 

Team - I had to exhale first, but I echo my sentiments from yesterday in just saying thank you so very very much for each of your contributions to tonight's success. I am getting a pour in of compliments from our highest leadership. Our Executive Director just sent a beautiful note. Just thank you, thank you, thank you. Please extend this to those members of the team that I DID NOT see and who were behind the scenes. I appreciate each one of you whole-heartedly for all that you have done. Rest well tonight. Thank you! 

National Education Association

You and your team rocked it last week. My sincere thanks for all you and your team’s organization, care, patience, and leadership to get us across the finish line for virtual conference last week. CMAA members were thrilled with the experience. That plus great general sessions, and a well-attended event that exceeded financial goals equals success!

We couldn’t have pulled it off without a partner like LAI. Our annual conference is our biggest event of the year. It provides a reset for our members annually as they are exiting their busy season or about to enter into it. This past year has been rough on everyone. CMAA members have been going above and beyond to serve their club members throughout the pandemic. They are COVID weary. Providing them a week of escape into a conference experience is a big deal for us and for them. We exceeded their expectations and gave them that escape with their peers. Pretty special! 

Club Management Association of America (CMAA)

When our boss asked us to “up our general session game”— I was excited but also nervous—could we really deliver whatever he had in his head? And you know what we did—WE EXCEEDED HIS EXPECTATIONS. And everyone else’s, for that matter. The room looked absolutely incredible and everyone was blown away. Besides the fact, you continued to be the calm, professional, steady force behind the production aspects. A tremendous kudos and thank you!

National League of Cities (NLC)

 

LAI Live is absolutely fantastic! My association recently celebrated 100 years with a Centennial Gala so we turned to LAI Live to help us secure and manage all the vendors -  drape, lighting, sound, stage, etc. – needed to transform the National Building Museum. Shannon and Elizabeth consistently provided excellent customer service throughout the planning process by addressing any questions and concerns in a timely manner. On the day of the gala, I relied on them to ensure that the many moving parts were perfectly coordinated and executed and they did not disappoint! The gala was a huge success and we received many compliments from attendees, including a media contact who commented that this gala was the best one he has ever attended. My team has never planned an event of this magnitude and we needed a trusted partner to ensure that we met the high expectations of AIA leadership and our members. I’m so grateful we chose LAI Live to be that partner!

Aerospace Industries Association (AIA)

 

The LAI Team was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. They offered new ideas and provided an overall professional element in producing an outstanding event. Everything was timely and organized and made it easy to deliver.

Insured Retirement Institute

 

Stage looked beautiful yet was a smaller footprint, gaining additional rooms for more attendees. Very professional, knowledgeable with a 'can do' attitude. The team was unflappable despite last minute challenges.

Manufacturers Alliance for Productivity and Innovation

 

As a marketing executive for a Fortune 500 company in New York, I’ve dealt with Madison Avenue ad agencies as well as a variety of other creative services agencies. I want you to know that the quality of work, the spirit of collaboration, and the attention to client care—as well as the value delivered—by Leading Authorities’ people is, in my decades of experience, unparalleled.
