Scope of Services

Experience the EKS Difference

Unlike most speaker’s bureaus, EKS exists to work with the Meeting Planner, as opposed to simply providing talent for the event.

We have the abilities to provide you complete event planning services, or only those areas where you have need.

We spend considerable time up front to learn your vision, objectives and goals for the event. Then we will customize our recommendations for services specifically for you. Even if you’ve held this same type event repeatedly, no two events are the same. We know the talent you book to be the “face” for your event must be consistent with your business/organizational image, reputation and goals. Exceptional Keynote Speakers is where the Meeting Planner gets the applause.

We offer our clients various type events and event elements:

Event Types: Conferences, conventions, seminars, workshops, retreats, small groups, luncheon/dinner events, fundraising, and more.

Event Talent: Emcee, entertainment, comedy, keynote, panelists, education, inspiration, instruction, music, and more.

Event Components: Hosting, music, travel, accommodations, meals/snacks, activities, excursions, workshops, crafts

Event Equipment: Lighting, sound, visuals, recording, projection, internet coordination, chairs, tables, linen

Event Focus: Personal growth, team growth, leadership growth, in-reach, out-reach, entertainment

Event Management: Registration, ticket system, staffing, parking, signage, permissions, licenses, insurance

Event Promotions: Social media, local advertisement, Public Relations, Community Relations

Whether you’re highly experienced in event planning, or a new volunteer with no experience, we are able to help you plan and conduct an event that everyone will enjoy and genuinely benefit from.
