Our Approach
A hallmark of any professional meeting planner is the ability to pivot, sometimes on the fly. With nearly a year of virtual meetings under our belts, we can say with certainty that we are nimble! New platforms, new meeting formats, new ways to engage attendees – we have immersed ourselves in the world of virtual meetings and are ready to produce your conference or event.
Collaboration is the key! Our mission is to gain a thorough understanding of your event goals so that we can design and deliver a meeting that not only meets your needs, but exceeds your expectations.
On-time and on-budget are hallmarks of a successful event - we share your priorities and will work tirelessly to ensure a well-run meeting.
Logistics and finances are really important, but the icing on the cake is the "delight" that every event attendee deserves to take away - that extra touch that attendees remember after the meeting is long over.
Our Story
Twenty years ago, Kristin Scheyer had already spent nearly a decade working in the event industry - trade shows, continuing education, conferences and special events. After leaving the University of Washington as a facility-based event planner, Shaw Event Services was a natural next-step as an outlet for her exceptional event management skills.
Our Staff
As Shaw Event Services has grown, so has our staff. As diverse as their experiences are, each team member brings a unique set of skills and shares a common commitment to providing amazing service to clients and attendees. We look forward to serving you and your event!
