Corporate Consulting
As a complement to our research and analysis business,
we offer corporate event planning services. We understand the best
approaches to delivering content and key messages through seminars,
meetings, conferences and expositions.
Currid & Company can design a package to fit your company’s specific
needs, utilizing available resources and tapping into our bank of
knowledge. We have a team of experts available to assist you in
producing a successful conference or seminar.
Corporate Events
Our firm has long been known as a “content provider”
for those seeking more information about computing. As a complementary
service to providing content, we also assist clients in developing
public and private events that reach the audiences involved in the
computing industry or concerned with technology-related topics. We
specialize in developing and communicating key messages and content
regarding the adoption and deployment of computing solutions. We also
provide a range of services that help our clients organize and execute
their events.
Whether you are hosting a small, private event for a few dozen people or
a large industry conference for several thousand, our accomplished
coordinators can design a package to fit your company’s specific event
requirements. Our services include theme and key message development;
keynote and session content development; logistics planning and
execution; event marketing and deliverables; attendee registration; and
post-event analysis and follow-up.
We have the ability to develop a “turnkey” event for you, from start to
finish. Or, you can select any aspects of our Corporate Event services
to complement the services provided by your own in-house staff or other
vendors.
Content Development
As information technology content experts, we help our
clients select and develop the most pertinent and timely topics. We
engage and coordinate the most qualified speakers, counseling keynote
and session presenters regarding the event’s theme and key messages. As
necessary, we assist speakers with seminar content development and
presentation. We ensure a quality event by coordinating and executing
the overall conference program. At the conclusion of the event, we
compile and analyze the attendee evaluations and conference results to
determine the measure of success. The types of activities involved in
content development and speaker coordination include:
| Assist in developing the event’s key messages
|

owners and potential attendees |
