Tailored Event Planning for a Global Trade Organization

• Host and arrange events for the 61st Annual Meeting of International Salvage Union.
• Secure world-class venues, tours, activities and their Black-Tie Gala.

A global trade organization trusted us to arrange their yearly meeting of 100 professional marine salvage contractors around the world along with their guests. This annual event was not only the 61st year of its existence, but the induction of the new President and first time it was to be held in New York City. Knowing that generations of businesses have attended these events, we created a once-in-a-lifetime itinerary for the guests.

We created a custom tour of New York city, with a theme and stops picked specifically for their relevance to the trade organization. We arranged hotel, travel logistics, and communications for all attendees to stay in luxury. Prior to their arrival, ISU attendees and their guests received a custom invitation inclusive of the meeting agenda and options to select activities and events during their stay in New York city.

We also set up a variety of premium events: Broadway show tickets, the annual general meeting, a customized private group tour of New York with historians that commenced at One World Observatory, a private behind-the-scenes shopping tour of designers' showrooms and studios, a pre-gala hair and make-up pampering package, a golf outing at Trump Golf Links Ferry Point and the finale black tie gala event which was held at the Edison Ballroom, an elegant private event space in the heart of Times Square, New York City.

On the last day, a farewell lunch “afloat” on the Eastern Star, a luxury private yacht charter was enjoyed, giving everyone the chance to experience the best the Big Apple had to offer.
