  Coulter Events is so much more than an event producer. We function as a full-service events developer ... your partner in all aspects of event management, from conceptualization to post-event wrap-up. Below are samplings of the service elements Coulter Events delivers to its clients in the creation and production of strategic events.
• Strategic Event Conceptualization
  What's the story you want to tell with your event?
  The Coulter Events team will invest time and expertise to understand your organization's unique culture and mission while creatively matching those goals to an event that will convey a compelling story line.
• Marketing and Public Relations
  Who's the audience that must understand and embrace your story?
  The target audience must be pinpointed in order to ensure your story is heard. In many cases, this will require significant press and public relations outreach, an area in which Coulter Events has consistently excelled. The Coulter Events team will work to define the target market and determining the most effective and efficient means of breaking through the clutter to reach and deliver your target audience.
• Fundraising and Sponsor Management
  Are you reliant on your event for net revenue?
  You're not alone. Increasingly, events succeed or fail based upon the ability to diversify events income to include sponsorship and other non-registration revenues. Coulter Events has an exceptional resource development team that will assess external funding targets and deliver results. This team undertakes the direct outreach, contracting and benefits fulfillment that delivers real value to corporate and philanthropic supporters.
• Comprehensive Logistics Management
  Do you require intelligent logistics management from inception to completion?
  If the devil is in the details then no event can succeed without precisely executed event logistics. It starts early with the pre-planning phases ... from providing recommendations for the ideal event locations and venues to parlaying our "large-volume" relationships to negotiate the best deals among a cache of vendors; from specific event resume development to on-site event execution ... no detail is left to chance. Coulter Events has the hands-on experience and long-lasting reputation that will ensure your events are managed with a big-picture outlook coupled with laser-like precision.
• Production and Direction
  Are you looking for events with a "WOW" factor?
  As both a creator and producer of strategic events, Coulter Events has built its reputation on delivering innovative events with a distinctive "WOW" factor. From event scripting to talent acquisition; from live event direction to stage management; from sound and lighting to the visual story that is conveyed, Coulter Events will ensure your event delivers upon its promise.
• Post-Event Evaluation
  Are you ready today for tomorrow's event?
  Events that stand still lose ground. The way to ensure progressively more impactful events is to ensure pinpoint evaluation of the event, including its reception among the target audience, its ROI among the sponsors and its success in meeting financial goals ... and then to (gasp!) actually integrate and apply the learned results.
