One of our favorite venues in San Francisco is the Palace of Fine Arts. With wide-open spaces and incredible statues that bookend the stage area, this space makes quite a statement. For Fusion’s Real Future Fair, we built a stage that felt more like a concert than a keynote, to keep the vibe as unconventional as possible. We used the existing architecture of giant angel statues as part of the stage design and customized the screens to frame them and create a cohesive presentation.

Fusion’s Real Future events were part of a year-long, multi-city tour produced for a new media company offering a unique mix of smart and irreverent original reporting, lifestyle, and comedic content. This particular event needed to be an equally uncommon gathering—offering both a conference element for professionals in the media sphere and a one-of-a-kind experience that left a lasting impact.

Please wish a very happy birthday to one of the newest members of the KE team, Erin. Though she's only been with Kennedy Events for a few months, Erin has already proven herself to be a remarkable addition to our team. Erin is thoughtful and thorough in her work; often taking the initiative to create a spreadsheet that she knows the team will need before the team knows they need it. Her event know-how is impressive. We’re in awe of everything she has created, managed, and owed in such a short amount of time. She truly is a natural fit for our ever-growing event squad. Happy birthday to you, Erin! 🎉

“Hiring KE was the best overall investment we made for this event and you are now stuck with us forever.”

We love client feedback that makes us blush! 🧡

23/11/2023

In this season of gratitude, we’re especially thankful for the clients who let us do what we love. We’re grateful to our event community for being a part of this journey. We couldn't bring it all together—event after event, year after year—without you!

Thank you from all of us at Kennedy Events. Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃 🧡

21/11/2023

Today we hope you’ll join us in wishing a very happy birthday to the one and only Maggie Kennedy! 🧡

Maggie is one of the most magnetic and affectionate people on the planet; a genuine leader and mentor. She is super motivating to work for because she's always rooting for you and her enthusiasm is contagious. You never leave an interaction with Maggie feeling anything but energized and encouraged. She cares deeply about other people and wants to see everyone shine both personally and professionally.

Maggie treats every member of the KE team like family; recognizing her team as the most valuable asset to her company and ensuring that sentiment resonates within the culture of KE. (Timely example: It’s “No Meeting Week!” as we recoup from a busy Fall, take time off to spread a bit of gratitude, and gear up for 2024.) To work with this dazzling woman is to be steeped in admiration of her and in appreciation that you’re one of the lucky ones. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MAGGIE! 🎉

Where some see a parking lot, event planners see expanded venue potential! Throwback to these magical moments from the creative mind of Roxanne. We love how a change in the furniture takes the vibe from light and airy to dark and chill; both providing attendees with a more intimate setting to network* or simply a comfy spot to escape and recoup a bit of personal space.

*All lounge spaces are pre-tested by KE Team members to ensure the highest level of comfort. This one got Eric’s stamp of approval. The job of Lounge Tester is no joke; Eric always includes mock conversation distance testing 👍

Kennedy Events has added another key player to our global team! Meet Xitlali Ferreyra Magaña, our new Event Admin and the backbone of our events team. She brings an administrative background that covers everything from being an executive assistant for CEOs to managing finance teams. Xitlali felt like a natural fit for our team from the word GO! She hit the ground running and continues to impress with every step she takes. Based in Morelia, Mexico, when she’s not wrangling contracts and improving the invisible processes that make partnering with KE stress-free, she’s practicing mindfulness outdoors or spending time with her rescue pup. She is an all-star addition to our team and we are thrilled to introduce you to Xitlali! 🎉

Today we want to wish a very Happy 7th Anniversary to the incredible Marianne! She’s one of the hardest working people we know; always on and ready to tackle each day. She is such a natural connector and we love how it elevates the KE game. She accomplishes more in a week than most people do in a month. We’ve always known how externally business-minded Marianne was in sales and relationship-building, but as she’s switched gears and embraced new opportunities, we’re truly seeing her internal business mind as well and it’s a beautiful thing. She is doing the most and is still willing to do whatever it takes to help when needed. Marianne is smart as a whip, funny, and has an openness that we all adore. She’s a leader, friend, mentor, and emotional-support-you-know-what. We all feel so lucky to be working with such an awesome lady. Our team truly wouldn’t be the same without her. Happy Anniversary, Marianne! 🧡

Getting "Wild" at Fort Mason! Take a bit of Roxanne's design wizardry and combine it with rentals from The Wild Ones and you've got one knock-out stage design. 💜

Shout out to one of our favorite husband-and-wife duos for the groovy rentals!

03/11/2023

Congratulations to the dynamic duo of Roxanne and Jen! They pulled together a gorgeous event at Fort Mason this week. What an outstanding job you've done! 🎉

Somewhere in the Bay Area, Marianne is beaming with pride because she knew both of these ladies (friends she'd known for years) would make excellent additions to the KE team. She could not have been more correct! 🧡

02/11/2023

Sofa city, sweetheart! 💛 🧡 💜

Also known in the event world as the calm before the storm.

26/10/2023

If the event venue includes a throne and a crown, are you going to stage your own royal photoshoot? We did! All hail, Queen Mariana 👑

12/10/2023

Our fearless leader doing anything for the job 🇬🇧

10/10/2023

LONDON CALLING! 🇬🇧 Paige, Eric, Mariana, and Jen headed across the pond last week to support one of our favorite repeat clients on another amazing event. Of course, we love a team photo following a job well done and we tasked this particular crew to include something iconically British in their pic. Obviously, our own Fab Four definitely didn’t disappoint ❤️ 💙 🤍

04/10/2023

Just a little shopping before we kick things off for our client in London 🛍️

22/09/2023

Today, we celebrate one of the masterminds behind our unforgettable events: the amazing Jen! 🎂 🎉

Jen, you aren't just an event planner; you are an epic problem-solver and a thoughtful soul. You make your colleagues and clients feel supported in every way. Your dedication is second to none. You embody our Solution Seeker core value to the fullest. You’re our Swiss army knife, our MacGyver, our “get'er-done” gal. You tackle obstacles with gusto, and fearlessly take on new challenges and opportunities, inspiring us all to reach for the stars. You quickly moved up the KE ranks by consistently bringing innovative ideas to the table, and always finding new ways to delight and surprise us and our beloved clients.

Jen, we can’t wait to see where this new chapter takes you—and us; the future is bright! ✨ With you on our Event Squad, we’re bound for greatness. Here’s to another incredible year of growth, achievements, and unforgettable moments. Happy Birthday, Jen! 🥂 💖

This smile has been missing from our feed in recent months because Marianne has been working her butt off, from sea to shining sea! 🌊 The only thing more perfect than the photo she shared with the team while attending the meeting in Atlanta last month was the note attached. ❤️

Dear team,

I am working the weekend, sweating and freezing (AC) in Atlanta, to build our brand and generate new business and relationships.

Love,
Your Director of Strategic Partnerships

Shout out to Shelly Kim for no particular reason other than being a gifted event producer who never ceases to amaze. She is the calm in the storm and the queen of Hot Cheetos. (PRO TIP: Shelly eats her Cheetos with chopsticks to avoid orange fingertips. Brilliant!) She is one helluva wonderful human being. Drop a 🐨 in the comments if you share our fondness for this amazing powerhouse. . . . . . #kennedyevents #eventmarketing #productiondesign #events #eventprofs #eventpros #eventcompany #sanfrancisco #sanfranciscoevents #sfevents #losangelesevents #nycevents #opportunitytodelight #eventplanner #events #eventplanning #eventdesign #eventdecor #eventlife #dowhatyoulove #lovewhatyoudo #bayarea #liveevents #virtualevents #hybridevents #girlcrush #ladyboss

In true Kennedy Events fashion, we’re kicking things off by raising a glass to you—our beloved community who learned to adapt, improvise, and overcome endless new life developments in the past year.

While planning an industry conference on machine learning, we brainstormed a down and dirty list of ideas to make the event more memorable. One of our favorites was the amazing picture-in-picture loooooong panoramic screen courtesy of the former @thevillagevenuesf and their fantastic in-house production team. (We miss you guys!) Other ideas included the fun use of bistro lights to anchor a lounge for sponsor Salesforce as well as street-level branding to carry the event message to the outside world. Want to provide swag that your guests will love? Try a t-shirt printing station that allows guests to choose their own design and watch their shirt (or tote bag) printed right in front of them.

Paige is a natural-born leader and cheerleader. Her calm demeanor, humor, and integrity have made being in this unpredictable and chaotic world of events such a wild ride. The way her brain works—and the amount of knowledge contained within—is a constant source of amazement for the rest of us. She’s all about finding a smarter way to do something, automating the tasks we tend to have on repeat, and creating a path for anyone to bring more smart ideas to the table. If Paige doesn’t know how to do something and can’t find someone else to guide her through it, she is the type of person who will not only figure it out but also report back on what she learned so that everyone benefits. She has a gift for being able to converse with and relate to anyone and discover a connection. Her theater background has made her our V.O.G. secret weapon at many live events. She is sassy, fun, and has the uncanny ability to defuse any situation by just being herself. How lucky are we to be in her orbit? So damn lucky!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, PAIGE 🎉 . . . . . #kennedyevents #eventmarketing #productiondesign #events #eventprofs #eventpros #eventcompany #sanfrancisco #sanfranciscoevents #sfevents #losangelesevents #nycevents #opportunitytodelight #eventplanner #eventplanning #eventdesign #strongertogether #eventstrong #femalefounders #womenentrepreneurs #womenempowerment #womensupportingwomen #virtualevents #virtualfundraiser #virtualmeetings #virtualconference #virtualeventplanning #superwoman #happybirthday

As we prepare to see the return of live, in-person events, it seemed like a great time for a throwback to timelapse video. Everything you see is EVERYTHING that we've missed. Yes to setting up tables and chairs! Yes to catering! Yes to working side-by-side with our team and vendors! The event you see here came together under the strategic eye of KE Event Producer Shelly Kim. There's something quite amazing about seeing a blank slate venue like @CranewayPavillion transformed into an event like the one for Institute for the Future. As event planners, when we're in the heat of load-in day, all that hustle and bustle definitely feels like it's moving this fast. Is there anything better than event-setup adrenaline? Special thanks to @MitchTobias for this amazing video and to @BrightEventRentals, @FoxtailCatering, and @XPMGpro for helping us make this event such a success. We're looking forward to working with you again soon! . . . . . #kennedyevents #eventmarketing #productiondesign #events #eventprofs #eventpros #eventcompany #sanfrancisco #sanfranciscoevents #sfevents #losangelesevents #nycevents #opportunitytodelight #eventplanner #eventplanning #eventdesign #strongertogether #eventstrong #femalefounders #womenentrepreneurs #womenempowerment #womensupportingwomen #throwbackthursday #throwback #timelapse #iftf2019 #instituteforthefuture
