Event and Meeting Management

EST has managed the logistics of hundreds of meetings, ranging in size from 10 to 6,000 attendees, and supporting hundreds of speakers and consultants throughout the country for those events.  The key to our success is our experience and we have developed the ability to anticipate problems before they arise and take steps to avoid them.  This makes our events run smoother for everyone concerned.  We have designed and developed numerous online registration portals with the capacity to manage speakers and all administrative tasks.  We have also provided support for hundreds of webinars and virtual meetings.  No task is too small or menial.  We pay attention to the details to ensure that all logistics are managed, thereby freeing our clients up to do what they do best.
​
EST has years of experience in managing event services for individuals with special needs.  For attendees with disabilities, we make sure that our in-person and online events are ADA compliant.  Our technology will be 508 compliant and we will provide translation and support for special needs, including sign language, large print materials and Computer Aided Real-time Transcription.
