Hosting a corporate meeting or conference can be both an incredibly stressful and rewarding prospect. National Event Pros was founded on the principle that we could help remove the stress part of the equation while increasing the reward. We understand the incredible amount of work and money that goes into producing an offsite meeting, an investment in your employees or guests, made with the intention to produce great dividends in the culture, productivity, and education of your workplace or industry. To make those dividends a reality, you have to maximize every aspect of your event in order to create the greatest amount of value. We’ve dedicated decades to organizing, facilitating, and entertaining, all to create the most memorable corporate meeting experiences.

Considerations for room sizes, hotel capacity, and accessibility are all required parts of the meeting space selection process. Portland has a great selection of hotels and conference centers that meet a wide variety of corporate meeting needs. Locations like the Portland Marriott Downtown Waterfront are great for upscale meetings with a view, for both small and large groups. For the largest of conferences, the expansive Oregon Convention Center is a great option. Once selected, your conference planner can help you through the process of negotiating, contracting, and securing the venue.
After your corporate meeting venue is selected the real planning work begins. With all of the venue information, our meeting planner team can start mapping out your conference flow. They will work with your Event Team to determine the best locations and times for inspiring keynotes and engaging breakout sessions. To assist with the logistical challenges, your dedicated conference planner will design a signage portfolio to be used throughout the hotel or venue. Finally, our professional staff will act as conference concierge, assisting with registrations, safety measures, guest questions, and so much more. We are dedicated to creating the greatest value for your attendees.
The best corporate conferences inform, inspire, and connect their attendees through the information, encouragement, and networking that is facilitated at the event. We know that keynote speakers and slide decks can only go so far. To keep every second interesting, and keep attendees on their toes, we have cataloged thousands of activities that can be facilitated for your attendees. From classic group icebreakers and social receptions, to new challenges such as team Virtual Reality Pictionary, our conference planner team will work closely with you to create activities that build and reinforce your primary event objectives.
Beyond designing and amazing multi day conference, selecting the space and schedule, and creating fun activities for your guests is the rest of the work. Catering, pre-conference communications, audio visual design and rehearsal, vendor management, purchase orders, and so much more. We know first hand the amount of sweat and teeth grinding effort that goes into a successful offsite. Selecting a meeting planner in the conference production space is very much like trusting someone with your life—the work that we often reflects directly on you, your organization, and your career. We take such a decision incredibly seriously. Our goal is to always have outcomes reflect positively on you, while doing everything possible to execute flawlessly.
