We provide a wide variety of services to Associations and Corporations. Let us describe our services through some real examples:

A large association had a key staff member take maternity-leave a few months before their annual convention, which has 20,000 attendees. We stepped in with industry veterans and, without missing a beat, were able to do travel arrangements, supplier contracts, BEO and resume review plus final food and beverage selection. When the planner returned from leave, we prepared a detailed turnover of what had been completed. The planner was able to pick up where we left off, and the convention took place without a hitch.

A major corporation wanted to hold an entertainment event to invite senior industry people while in town for a major convention. The client wanted such a unique event that people would look forward to it, and their attendance would increase each year. We located and obtained a unique and prominent venue, selected the caterers and entertainment, completed all of the logistics and were on-site for the event. It was such success that people are still talking about it and each year people ask to be put on the invitation list.

An association lost their Director of Meetings suddenly. We came in while they were searching for a new director and led the meetings department to make sure that things went smoothly during the transition and that the planning of their annual meeting and other upcoming conferences stayed on track.

An association that has over 75 meetings a year is always taxed from a staffing standpoint at certain peak times. During these peak times, we are able to assist by completing site research, accompanying the client to the destination to do site selection, make final recommendations to the client and negotiating the contract on their behalf. None of their meetings staff needs to be out of the office, and can continue to work on more critical deadlines. Our expertise allows our client to feel confident that they can give each of their meetings the correct attention, without increasing their staff.

With a growth of over 60% in exhibits from one year to the next, an association found themselves in need of additional on-site exhibit floor management in order to properly service their exhibitors and members. We were able to provide trained and experienced staff that supervised the security within the exhibit hall, assisted with the move-in and move-out process and supported the goals and vision of the organization.

The signature event of this organization takes place annually and is the region's premier opportunity to highlight the achievements and accomplishments of its members. For this organization, it is not financially beneficial to have full time staff devoted to the development and production of this event, but instead chooses to use our services for a portion of the year to supplement their staff. In doing so, Vicki Johnson & Associates has taken the lead in the conceptual theme, graphic design and development and overall production of the event. Working closely with our own team of highly experienced graphic and video specialists, we have led the organization in all aspects of the production, from the selection of the lighting and Audio Visual support, stage design, speaker support and event management. This partnership has allowed the organizations staff to continue to focus on their core responsibilities while simultaneously producing the most significant event of the year for their members and stakeholders.
