- Adolor Corporation
Website: www.adolor.com
The Pattern
Adolor Corporation’s CEO wanted to bring his employees together for an afternoon of fun, teambuilding, and relaxation with co-workers and their families. They were looking for a team to plan an event that would exceed expectations and bring smiles to employees, leaving them looking forward to next’s year’s employee appreciation event.
The Design
Seamless Events met with the client, listened on their needs, and planned and executed a fun filled picnic for the Adolor employees and their families. The attendees engaged in boating, swimming, relay races, dancing, and face painting. They won prizes, ate amazing BBQ, snacked on unlimited popcorn and snow cones, jumped in a moonbounce, and lots more. The event successfully achieved the CEO’s goal – the employees couldn’t stop talking about how fun the event was. To them, it was more than just another employee gathering. It really showed how much they were appreciated by their company. Seamless Events was hired again this year to plan another – even better – employee appreciation picnic!
- Microsoft Corporation
Website: www.microsoft.com
The Pattern
The Executive Relationship team at Microsoft needed help with their quarterly Communique, which is distributed to all their C-level Enterprise Customers across the United States. They were looking for a company to manage the content creation, collaboration with over 20 different groups internally, and management of the execution process to ensure all customers received the valuable piece of communication from Microsoft.
The Design
Seamless Events created a detailed timeline, budget, and process document which allowed for a seamless execution of the Communique. We streamlined a process that once was very time consuming and created a valuable piece for the CFO’s, CIO’s and CEO’s of their Enterprise cliental within the United States.
The Praise
“Thanks so much for all your hard work. Also, thanks for sending this report. As always, you are so thorough!”
- Linda Coppess, Senior Marketing Manager, Microsoft Corporation
- NutriSystem
Website: www.nutrisystem.com
The Pattern
The team at NutriSystem was responsible for pulling together quarterly business meetings for all the employees within the organization. They were always in-person meetings which limited the number of employees that could join.
The Design
Seamless Events evaluated their current plans and suggested steps on how to improve the meetings and increase employee participation and interaction. We added an online webpage where employees could submit questions prior to the meeting. Seamless Events fielded the inquiries and shared with the team one day prior to the meeting. We also organized a video crew for each quarterly meeting to be broadcasted internally, and, if employees could not be there live for the meeting, they could watch it during their down-time. With these strategic and technological advancements, the meetings now reach more of the intended audience.
The Praise
"In response to an employee engagement survey we launched in the 4th quarter of 2007, NutriSystem’s HR department spearheaded a companywide communication initiative designed to improve employee and inter-departmental communication to enhance company performance and make the client the focus of our company. As part of the initiative we were charged with setting up quarterly 'Town Halls' that were interactive, videotaped, and reproducible in an on-site location that was way too small to hold all of our employees.
&qot;This was a challenge for us. I contacted Seamless Events because I was an attendee at some of the events they coordinated through the Philadelphia SHRM events, HR Person of the Year Events, and other HR Networking events. I wanted a professional organization that could put together an event fit for our employee population, from the warehouse employee and call center associate to our executive leaders. Connie and her team came to our location, assessed and made recommendations on how to maximize our space, coordinated the technology we would need for the day including the audio, video, and question submission through on an online web form. They even created print outs for employees to take notes on during the town hall.
"It was a huge success. The feedback from our employees and executive leaders was that the event was interactive and professional. With the addition of audio and video, our remote employees and those unable to attend the town hall were able to hear the message directly from our CEO. My expectations we exceeded by Seamless Events and we will continue to use them for our company events."
— Nancy Adams, PHR, Senior Director, Human Resources
- The Rosen Group (HR Department of the Year Awards Ceremony
Website: www.hrawards.org
The Pattern
In 2007, The Rosen Group was looking for an event management company to plan and execute their annual HR Department of the Year Awards Ceremony for over 300 guests. With a distinguished reputation in the HR industry, they were referred to Seamless Events from other HR organizations who had previously utilized our services. The HR Department of the Year Awards was in need of a strategic marketing plan which included email and print, an elaborate sponsorship offering package, a registration system, venue negotiations, and logistical planning. After exceeding expectations in 2007, Seamless Events was hired again for the 2008 ceremony.
The Design
For the past two years, Seamless Events has worked with the Rosen Group and their supporting partners to make the HR Department of the Year Awards a hallmark event in the HR industry. This year, we worked with the Crystal Tea Room to coordinate logistics and plan the menu, secured Billy Henley of NBC 10 to emcee, and helped raise sponsorships dollars through the creation and execution of an e-mail and print marketing campaign. We also created a strategic marketing plan, which included demand generation for the event that has led to an increase in attendance over the past two years and provided a plethora of food donations for the event’s charity, Philabundance. Furthermore, we developed and managed the power point presentation viewed during the show. And on the day of the event, we executed a flawless registration process for the 320 attendees, set-up all event and sponsor materials, and coordinated all logistics with the venue.
The Praise
"The perfect words are THANK YOU! As with last year, you did an amazing job last night. We are getting great feedback from people we have talked to. You have brought this event to a whole new level. It is such a pleasure to work with you and I hope that we can keep raising the bar for the event and HR."
— Becky Lang Staffieri, Marketing Specialist, The Rosen Group
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
- Vertex (Women’s Leadership Forum)
Website: www.vertexinc.com
The Pattern
In early 2009, 3 passionate employees at Vertex Inc. formed a steering committee to plan and execute a Forum for the rising women leaders of their company. They decided to seek an event management company after trying to pull all the pieces together themselves while juggle their jobs. One of the committee members had worked with Seamless Events previously on another event and recommended us for the project. After meeting with the 3-member steering committee, and providing them with a strategic plan which included a budget, registration process, venue management, speaker negotiations and management as well as overall logistical planning, the committee hired Seamless Events for Vertex Inc.’s first ever Women’s Leadership Forum.
The Design
One of the first ways we helped the committee was to alleviate their workload for the event, so they could focus on their job responsibilities at Vertex, Inc. Seamless Events first began by creating an event budget to ensure the client was comfortable with the total dollar spend. Then we created a detailed event timeline which allowed the client to see what deliverables were being focused on at what date. Seamless then contacted each speaker the committee had chosen and not only worked out the contracts but was their main contact throughout the planning months to collect all their information for the event and provide them with specific logistics for a successful event. Once the speakers were in place, Seamless Events put together a logo and tagline to utilize on flyers and email invitations for the company to help promote the event. We then coordinated final logistics (attendee guidebook, speaker handouts, favors, speaker books, and the list goes on), planned and negotiated the menu and onsite needs with the venue. And, finally, on the day of the event, we executed a flawless registration/welcome process with customized name tags, captured photos to be shown on a slideshow presentation during the event, set-up all speakers, and coordinated all logistics with the venue. The women participants had a wonderful 2-day forum.
The Praise
"Vertex recently engaged Seamless Events to assist with the planning of our first Women's Leadership Forum. Our steering committee consisted of three women with a passion for women in leadership...we needed someone with a passion for event planning services. Connie and her team assisted us with event planning timeline and budgeting, branding and marketing, and Seamless was the main point of contact with the venue and the speakers. The result was a top-notch event that was thoroughly enjoyable from beginning to end. Connie delivered on our every expectation and even added some very specialized touches to our event."
— Mindy Geib, SPHR, HR Business Partner, Vertex, Inc.
- Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia Insights Program
The Pattern
The office of Talent Management and Diversity Leadership at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia was looking for an event management company to help with registration, vendor management and logistics, and creative direction for their 2009-2010 Insights program, which offers leadership and professional development for minority employees. The organizing team wanted event professionals to really transform the space into more than a meeting room – they wanted a vibrant area that was conducive to a motivational and uplifting educational experience, as well as a vibrant theme for the reception to be held after the day of learning.
The Design
Seamless Events studied the space and formulated a comprehensive plan to transform the meeting room. We coordinated colored linens, created centerpiece options, and mapped out a plan for piping and draping. We coordinated the orders and delivery with each vendor from the caterer to the furnishings supplier and were there at the event to set everything up, register attendees, and to ensure the entire program ran smoothly. The meeting room was brought to life and provided an energizing vibe for attendees throughout the day! And when attendees went into the reception area afterwards, they were greeted by a Fall Harvest filled with cornstalks, apple cider, fruity centerpieces, and Autumn colors all around!
The Praise
"Thank you again and again for making INSIGHTS kickoff a TREMENDOUS success! We were SOOOO HAPPY with the end product! It's WONDERFUL to have a quality network of people to make things happen, so thank you again!"
— Kelley Cornish, Director of Director of Talent Management and Diversity Leadership, Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.
"Thank you for your creativity and diligent work on Thursday, September 24, 2009. Both rooms were transformed into completely different atmospheres. The color coordination match with the INSIGHTS logo was impeccable!!! Yes, there was a certain excitement in the air about the program; thanks in part to your efforts. Thanks again for contributing to the excitement and success of the 2009-2010 INSIGHTS Kickoff!!!"
— Angel Howzell, Assistant, Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia
