CALABASAS, CA--(Marketwired - Jul 16, 2014) - RPMC, the events management and sponsorship activation company, has been selected as one of the country's Top 100 Event Agencies by Event Marketer magazine following a competitive review of hundreds of submissions from agencies in North America by the magazine's editors.

"We are thrilled to be recognized by Event Marketer for being worthy of inclusion on this list," said Kelly Weinberg, executive vice president, RPMC and head of the company's U.S. operations.

That the editors called us out for that is truly rewarding."
