This week’s ✨Vendor Spotlight ✨ is on the incredible team at Runestone!

If you want:

🦋 To transform a space
🎭 Dramatic draping
😻 Eye-catching stage installations

Hire. Them.

What we love most about Runestone is how collaborative they are. They come to the table with a ton of fresh ideas and expertise, but they also want to bring your specific vision to life. Working with them feels like a true partnership—they’ll even customize a design with you if they don't have the materials on hand, which shows just how much they go the extra mile.

If you want to transport your guests to a totally new world, you have to talk to Runestone.

In such an abnormal year, one question keeps coming up from our clients over and over again:

Q: How do we design a program that is fun and uplifting, but still acknowledges what’s happening in the world without bringing everyone down?

A: We always come back to the notion that our joy is our resistance. There is a way to balance acknowledging what’s on everybody’s minds without feeling like that’s the only focus. One way we incorporate this into programs we design is within the emcee’s opening remarks.

Here is a general framework we like to use in the openings:

🌞 Start with a warm welcome. Remember, your guests set aside the most valuable currency—time—to spend with you.

📰 Acknowledge whatever is top-of-mind for the community; what have their experiences been like since you last gathered, especially as it relates to local or national news?

🤗 Validate the scope of emotions attendees may be feeling. Remind guests that it’s normal to feel this way in uncertain times.

✊ Remember to emphasize that every action, no matter how small, makes a difference.

🤝 Emphasize that community is a source of support and reiterate the power of gathering as a way to share hope.

🎼 Make it experiential! Invite the group to join in a chant or sing-along, or simply focus their attention on something sensory in the room to create a shared experience.

😆 Then, for the rest of your program, allow the work you do to shine through and show folks how your mission is part of the solution! End on a high note of joy.

How are you infusing joy as a tool of resistance in your gatherings? Let us know in the comments!

Time to turn the Vendor Spotlight on one of our favorite rental partners: ✨Arden Event Collective ✨

If you're planning an event, you know how crucial it is to find the perfect rentals—and they have it all. Furniture, décor, something in between—their huge inventory has you covered.

And when things change at the last minute (because we know they will!), they'll be there with a positive attitude and will let you know they've got you covered.

Their friendly and flexible approach makes them a true joy to work with (huge shoutout to Chris, Meredith, and Angela).

If you need rentals for your next event and want to work with a collaborative, knowledgeable team, you've got to check them out: Arden Event Collective and Sperry Tents Oregon

Time for a ✨Vendor Spotlight✨ on one of our favorite partners: The AV Department!

Honestly, finding a great AV team can make all the difference, and this one’s our fave. They’re professional, knowledgeable, fun to work with, collaborative, and friendly—what more could you ask for?

With the AV Department, we know one of the most important parts of any event—the audio—will be flawless. No feedback, no high-pitched buzzing, and no muffled speakers. Because unnoticed tech = smooth events.

PLUS, they bring your event brand to life with lighting AND they love tinkering with the latest and greatest equipment, so event tech is always top-notch.

The AV Department is it!

✨VENDOR SPOTLIGHT: Streamline Support ✨

When it comes to registration, Streamline Support Inc. is our go-to partner. Working with their team brings a sense of ease and eliminates the stress that can come with guest check-in and check-out.

Streamline provides everything you need for a smooth registration process — from computers and printers to a skilled technician who trains your volunteers and steps in whenever support is needed. With their calm expertise onsite, what could be a chaotic moment for guests becomes seamless and stress-free.

Why we love working with Streamline:

🤝They’re always ready to jump in and help.
😄Their team is consistently friendly and approachable.
💻They bring deep knowledge of registration equipment and event platforms.
🎉We know the job will be done thoroughly and thoughtfully every time.

Simply put, when Streamline is on-site, we don’t worry — we know registration is in the best hands.

Big thanks to the whole team, including Helen, Anne, Abby, Ed, Jon and Kate!
