The Devon Group Steps Up Event Management Capabilities

MIDDLETOWN, NJ--(Marketwire - July 28, 2009) - The Devon Group, a public relations and marketing services firm, today announced it has intensified its event management offerings to meet increased demand from clients as well as the anticipated economic recovery.

Throughout its 15-year history, many companies have relied on Devon to produce private events such as editorial roundtables, manage trade show exhibits, provide logistical support for user conferences, and direct on-site vendor management.

"An effective physical event requires careful planning and flawless execution," said Jeanne Achille, CEO of The Devon Group. "Such events represent an outstanding means of face-to-face networking with target audiences in one location; however, many companies believe event management is something that can be added to the plate of an already stretched marketing or administrative resource. To maximize return on investment, companies need to outsource event management to an experienced firm with a proven track record."

Recent events managed by The Devon Group include a private cocktail party hosted by a global BPO provider at New York City's 21 Club; the 2009 U.S. Foodservice sales meeting; the Advanced Energy Research Technology Conference (AERTC); and the Permlite & Winona Lighting trade show booths at Litefair 2009.

To complement its event management offerings, The Devon Group's other services include: equity and industry analyst relations; media relations; content development; PR and marketing project management; and crisis communications.
