Conferences and meetings

Conferences and meetings come in many forms, internal strategy meetings, international conventions, association meetings, educational conferences, medical meetings, just to name a few. Each program, whether it’s a day or a full week of programming, has its own unique set of objectives and specifications. At Castle, we dive deep into our clients’ expectations and desired results, making sure every aspect of the planning process is custom fit and in line with the end goal.

Customer meeting/user group conferences

Customer meetings and user group conferences are an incomparable way to gain valuable insight from your greatest asset – your customers. Through face-to-face contact, customers and businesses can learn from each another, share best practices and create lasting relationships. These events also present an opportunity for networking and prospecting, building brand awareness, communicating and training on new product features and generating excitement around upcoming product releases. Castle helps clients produce highly effective customer meetings, making sure to incorporate the right balance of education and fun for a memorable and enjoyable takeaway.

Employee training meetings

Employee training is critical to any successful business operation. From onboarding courses and continuing education, to technical skills and hands-on product training, Castle works with clients to develop customized event programs that incorporate the specific needs of the curriculum. Our job is to create the right environment and deliver the details to maximize the learning experience.

Product and company launches

It’s difficult for a new product or company to be successful if people haven’t heard about it! Through the medium of live events, Castle assists clients in launching new products, services and breaking new ground. Always starting with the clients’ objectives, we design unique event experiences – from full scale grand opening celebrations to interactive, multimedia events. Castle helps raise visibility and make a splash while ensuring all logistics are flawless. Our public relations team is also ready to assist in getting the message out via traditional media relations and/or social media channels.

Executive leadership/management retreats

Executive leadership/management retreats provide an opportunity for top minds of the business to connect with one another in an immersive environment without the day-to-day distractions of an office setting. Results include greater collaboration and communication among team members, a fresh approach to current roadblocks and creating a vision for moving forward. From exotic locales to locations around the corner, Castle is expert in creating exclusive, high-touch programs that make an impact.

Sales meetings

Whether held annually or quarterly, in small divisions or company-wide, sales meetings are an important tool to energize and engage teams, deliver new messages, share best practices, and provide training tools. With years of experience and first-hand know-how, Castle strategizes with our clients to build programs that make the best use of participants’ time away from the office.

Tradeshow

Tradeshows and exhibitions come in all shapes and sizes and are a tried and true method for showcasing and discussing new products and services with customers and prospects. Many tradeshows incorporate workshops or presentations, one-on-one meetings and networking opportunities into the program. Castle supports our clients with various aspects of tradeshow planning including site selection, overall layout, exhibitor management and other show logistics.
