The Event Group was founded in 1997 by President Eileen Manning. Its first event was a computer show that traveled to different cities, with CBS as its sponsoring partner. Experienced in all facets of event planning, sales, marketing and execution, our staff has more than 500 events to our credit.

Some of our clients include: Star Tribune, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, American Express, Prudential, Ford, The Carlson School of Management, Graduate Women in Business, Augsburg College, LifeScience Alley, Midwest Medical Directors, Electromed, National Association of the Remodeling Industry, Andersen Windows, CASE Handyman and Remodeling, Schwan’s Sales Enterprises, and many others.

We’ve Been There

No matter what the event or location, chances are that our staff has helped manage a similar event or worked with an event at the site you have in mind. Many of us have also experienced the “other side,” and have great appreciation for the client’s perspective when it comes to creative thinking, effective negotiating and conscientious cost management.

We are uniquely suited to provide our clients with all components of event planning and execution — from the development of effective promotional materials to registration management, pre-event coordination and on-site logistics management — all under one roof.
