Event Consulting

Over the years IDS has learned that it is just as important for our clients to enjoy the planning experience as well as the event itself.

We start with an “event overview” to draw out the elements of your event that are important to you and ultimately to your company’s stakeholders.

We then generate a timeline with specific costs and milestone dates, create a weekly recap day and then plan our schedules around those key weekly recap meetings.

Once all the fun of planning and creating the timeline is completed we are then ready for the hard part – budgeting. Based on the items in the event overview and the timeframe required for each item on our list, we work closely to secure the appropriate resources at the lowest possible price.

With approved budget in hand, we then recommend that you lay out your schedule of events to allow all your stakeholders, sub-contractors and vendors to be reading off the same page.
