A Curated Approach to Conference Content, Attendance, and Engagement
Conference & Summit Management
How We Help
foster standing room only interest
Conference & Summit Management enables your team to focus on client engagement. A PIE powered event or summit drives participation, aligns your audience’s desires with your expertise, and ensures your event is a must-attend for years to come.
Looking to put together an unforgettable experience for your clients and prospects as your next big event? Summits are a proven way to engage with clients and prospects.
PIE has been running high-attendance, high-engagement summits for the biggest names in consulting for more than two decades. The secret? Create opportunities for executives to talk with each other—time with their peers to benchmark what they are doing—in addition to hearing from your SMEs and high-priced keynote speakers.
PIE does it all, working with your team to hone the invitation list, coordinating with and drafting notes for your account leads to send invitations, following up to drive registration, interviewing executives on what they want out of the summit—this one step increases the chances of an executive not canceling at the last minute by three-fold—and organizing and facilitating the roundtable peer conversations. The PIE team pre-briefs and post-briefs key summit leadership, produces various forms of summaries depending on the audience and need, and provides day-of summit help. From testing the mics to last-minute needs, we are humble and have done it all.
