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.
