AWS re:Invent is the premier global cloud conference—an annual takeover of Las Vegas that brings together the fastest-growing startups, the world’s largest enterprises, and government innovators who all lean on AWS to scale smarter and innovate faster. This year’s event ran December 1–5 and drew more than 65,000 attendees, making it the largest re:Invent yet—and the perfect environment to meet clients, spot emerging industry trends, and get inspired.
Corporate events, whether client summits, company offsites, or industry dinners, are more than just logistics exercise. They’re opportunities to build relationships, reinforce brand reputation, and leave a lasting impression with attendees. But even the most experienced planners can fall into common traps that compromise the impact of their events.
Here are the top five mistakes to avoid when planning your next corporate event, including how to make sure your hard work truly pays off.
This week, we attended WSJ Tech Live 2025 at Stanly Ranch & Carneros, an intimate 2.5-day gathering that brought together roughly 300 investors, executives, and innovators exploring what’s next for technology, business, and AI. The setting was scenic and sophisticated —coming to Northern CA for the first time this year—reflecting the caliber of the conversations happening across every room.
This quarter was packed with energy as we brought together more than 500 attendees across New York, Los Angeles, and San Francisco. From exclusive dinners and VIP executive summits to intimate conversations with an artist merging AI and VR in her work, and our marquee forums, the past three months brought us together with attendees shaping the future of AI, TV advertising, and global finance. All while scouting new venues, tracking the latest trends, and setting the stage for our biggest and boldest events yet in 2025 and 2026.
More than 700 leaders, innovators, and change-makers showed up to our events this quarter—packing venues in SF, NYC, Toronto, and DC. We led three standout conferences, organized 10 exclusive dinners, and capped it off with a high-impact virtual annual meeting (yes, those still exist!). Read our recap of Q2 2025.
Taking the Bay Area and NYC by storm in Q1, our event management team managed VIP dinners, mixers, and a conference focused on AI in Healthcare. We enjoyed hosting at unique, new venues in these months—a jazz auditorium, science museum, co-working space, and restaurants known for high-caliber cooking. Read our Q1 2025 highlights and trends to expect in the year.
It’s more vital than ever to use today’s modern tools and innovations to predict your event and attendees’ next step. As technology advances, so do the ways in which we create environments that leave participants inspired and connected to your company. In this post, we’ll dive into some of the ways you can predict ahead to work smarter, not harder, in your event planning.
September is notoriously busy in the Events industry, and this year was no exception. In Q3, our Events team touched 24 events hosted in Dallas, NYC, LA, Toronto, and of course several in SF/Bay Area. We’ve earned our flight miles traveling to be onsite for nine events this quarter, as well as hosting eight virtual webinars. See where we've been in this post!
