Event & Conference Planning, Management & Support

Running an event? The TAP Event Primer will help you...

TAP provides a full suite of development, marketing, recruitment and management for these important gatherings. To most organizations meeting and conferences represent an important opportunity to network and inform – but they lack the permanent resources to manage the process. That’s where TAP comes in with its powerful network of resources and vast experience planning and coordinating the event.

Although events, meetings and conferences have been around forever it seems, it is only in the last 30 years or so that they have become prolific with new ones being added every year. People today are generally more involved, informed, competitive and enquiring. They want an activity in which they can participate and walk away with a positive feeling based on that participation. They want that experience to be interesting, memorable and unique to their particular psychographic (reflecting the activities, interests and opinions of specific populations) tastes.

Events, meetings and conferences are now a conglomeration of a variety of activities. Part business networking, part education and part entertainment, the growth in events, meetings and conferences will continue as people come to expect more and more from their experiences.

TAP focuses on leveraging the trends that are merging in the event and related marketing fields. It provides a full range of services that include event creation, planning, design, budgeting, logisitics, implementation, technology support, sponsorship identification and recruiting and full-service management and reporting.
