Book Conferences with Confidence

You can relax, knowing we have asked all the right questions.

• Will you send out a call for papers or will all speakers be invited?
• What will be required of speakers – merely an abstract of their talks, or the full paper, with illustrations, ready for publication?
• Will there be poster sessions in addition to talks?
• How extensive (and expensive) will be use of multimedia be?

Communication is vital to eliminating surprises. GEM will keep your speakers happy, thus keeping you happy.

Field Trips & Excursions

We have the experience necessary to meet the unique needs of an off-site event that’s on the move. We:

• act as liaison between the leader/guide and participants
• develop budgets
• arrange transportation
• handle emergency contingencies
• take care of the housing

Concerts & Entertainment Events

Whether integrated into a larger event or as a stand-alone attraction, GEM can effectively apply our contract negotiation, hall decoration, and VIP "handling" expertise to your next concert or social event, in order to:

• coordinate booking the performers
• handle ticket sales
• determine & oversee sound & staging requirements
• make transportation & ground arrangements for VIPs

This leaves you, the client, free to seek sponsors, play host to the artists, and take the ultimate bow after the curtain falls on your successful event.

"Bruce Lemmon organises international meetings with tireless efficiency and extraordinary capability topped by genuine personal warmth. His reputation as an organiser of international congresses is second to none. His flexible and friendly efficiency is only outshone by the genuine warmth and spontaneous smile with which he receives everyone involved."
- Hans Krause
Technical Program Chair for two Caracas-based conferences with exhibitions,
managed by Bruce Lemmon

"One week after being appointed marketing director, I was handed a huge manual with all the forms for the tradeshow in which we make our largest investment each year I had never handled the logistics of a tradeshow, although I had attended and staffed exhibits for several years. I called Bruce Lemmon who was managing the show. He helped me make sense out of the forms, responded to my request for suggestions to increase our presence at the show, was always available to answer any question I had during the time leading up to the show and during set-up made it a point to assure that the process went smoothly for me.
Our exhibit was a success! And we increased our space at subsequent shows. The expertise that Bruce shared and the professional courtesy he extended to me at this first show was consistent throughout all of our future business."
