Michelle Carde Velasquez

Senior Event Manager

From ideation to execution, I manage the complete event lifecycle for our client projects.   I began my career over a decade ago with Hilton Hotels in New York City and eventually transitioned to the event agency side of the industry.  I've had the pleasure of planning events globally for large pharmaceutical companies such as Eli Lilly, Takeda, and Abbott from drug launches to advisory boards, large-scale to intimate events. My ability to anticipate the needs of my clients and make recommendations for creative solutions that advance both the strategic goals of an event and meet the financial realities is my secret weapon. 

I'm always looking at ways to streamline and make processes more efficient. Whether tightening the run-of-show, managing the budget, or combing an agenda with a fine toothcomb, I love to find that last piece to the puzzle to make a memorable event. Connect with me on LinkedIn. 

Weird thing I love about events: I hold the record for worst on-site puns.
