- 2008 Delaware Valley HR Person of the Year Awards Dinner Event
Website: www.hrpersonaward.org
The Pattern
One month before the 2005 HR Person of the Year Awards Dinner, we received a call regarding assistance in managing the registration for the event which, at that time, attracted more than 250 HR professionals. The next year, the event committee requested additional services from Seamless – they wanted us to assist in the entire event planning moving forward.
The Design
There were a lot of different details within this registration process, but, Seamless Events was able to execute it successfully even on short notice. It was the first year the committee members were not meeting in the afternoon to stuff name tags and designate table assignments. After our participation in just the registration process, we were asked by the committee to create a sustainable structure for the event moving forward, and, year after year, we keep adding to the professionalism of the entire event. The event now attracts close to 400 HR Professionals from the Delaware Valley. This is an event that HR professionals wait all year to attend.
The Praise
“I have known Connie Pearson-Bernard and her team since 2005 via Alstin Communication's association with the DVHRPY Awards. During that time period, Seamless Events has consistently delivered superior event planning services and is dedicated to providing the very finest results. I heartily and unhesitatingly recommend Seamless Events and Connie Pearson-Bernard.”
- Mike Schluth, President, Alstin Communications
“I've worked with Connie and Seamless Events, Inc. on several occasions over the past three years and her professionalism, attention to detail and overall management of events is always first class. I would recommend Connie to anyone or any organization that is looking to elevate their event to another level.”

“I was there at the beginning of the Seamless Events partnership with the Delaware Valley HR Person of the Year Award dinner event and Connie and her team have impressed me every year with their professionalism, attention to detail and their focus on making the event better each year. It's a complicated event with many moving pieces that change each year. She has helped us run an outstanding event and has been flexible to deal with changes while also creating a great structure to make our success a "repeatable event". We have a great partnership that I hope lasts for many years.”
- Michael Furman, SPHR, Sr. Director, Human Resources, Teva Pharmaceuticals USA

- Philadelphia American Marketing Association – 2009 Marketer of the Year Awards
Website: www.moty.amaphilly.org/awards/

They also wanted an event management company to aide in securing the venue and logistics for the event, as well as a registration process.

Thank you and look to see you again at a future event!”
— Meg Ferguson, Vision House Marketing, LLC
- Philadelphia SHRM (PSHRM)
The Pattern
Philadelphia SHRM realized in the early months of 2007 that their organization was not realizing its full potential. Membership and events were being maintained, but not properly managed and growing. Seamless Events was hired to do an analysis of the chapter’s current state, then, create a recommendation list of next steps. Within months, Seamless Events was asked to manage the entire chapter.
The Design
Seamless Events took as much information as provided to them in order to do a very thorough analysis and recommendation list for the chapter. After much work, they created an extensive outline of next steps in the short term and beyond. After this analysis was created, the Executive Board decided the organization needed an Association Management Company to increase the professionalism of the chapter and take this organization to the next level within the Philadelphia HR community. Seamless Events has assisted in the growth of membership, the implementation of new programs/content/speakers, the increase of finances within the chapter, the organized structure of the chapter’s board/committee, the implementation of a new website with new communication efforts and so forth.
The Praise
“Connie and Seamless Events are invaluable partners with Philadelphia SHRM. Their professionalism, administrative support, including facilitating communications, event planning and much more keeps our organization running seamlessly!”
- Mary Doria, Communications Chair, Philadelphia SHRM
Seamless Events simply put is strong in all that they do. In one short year with Philadelphia SHRM, Connie and her staff aligned their tactics and processes with the PSHRM strategy. The result was an increase in membership, first class events and a board that was very appreciative of what Seamless had accomplished.
- Dan Gallagher, President, Philadelphia SHRM, 2007-08
- Philadelphia Human Resource Planning Society (PHRPS)
Website: www.phrps.com
The Pattern
After experiencing a financial loss on a previous event, the board members of PHRPS decided they needed the guidance and experience of seasoned event professionals with association management experience. Seamless Events was recommended to the board by a member of the organization to help them increase attendance, generate sponsorships, and coordinate event logistics.
The Design
Seamless Events stepped in during the final months leading up to their Annual PHRPS Leadership Forum. We worked with the venue, board members, and the keynote speaker to organize and prioritize. We then created a marketing plan, which included demand generation for the event that led to a significant increase in attendance and actually generated sponsorships for the association. On the day of the event, we executed a flawless registration process for the 250 attendees, set-up all event and sponsor materials, and coordinated all logistics with the venue.
The Praise
“Our organization chose to partner with Seamless Events for the first time at our annual Leadership Forum. As a direct result of their guidance and involvement, we increased participation in this event by over 45%, generated over $10K in new sponsorships and went from a loss on the previous event to a very positive income. Connie and her team do an excellent job at developing a thorough project plan and executing on it flawlessly.”
- David Desch, Co-Chair, PHRPS Annual Leadership Forum
