Meetings
and events come in all shapes and sizes. From a lap top presentation
to a small group to an award banquet for an audience of 2,000+, each
meeting shares a common goal: to effectively communicate the message.
And each event is “live” with flawless execution expected
and demanded.

Preplanning
Preplanning saves
time and money. At Gregson-Haywood Productions we visit the facility
to determine what will work best for your event. First we examine
the physical aspects of the meeting room. There is nothing worse than
arriving with a custom-built 20 foot tall set only to find out the
ceiling is really 19 feet … even though the printed literature
says 21 feet! We also explore how the property works; union rules,
loading dock specifications, power requirements, etc. Once the site
visit is complete, we present a detailed floor plan so you can review
every aspect of the room and make informed decisions well in advance
of your event.

Theme & Logo
The theme and logo
work together. They make a statement about your event and tell the audience
what to expect. A well-designed logo brings the theme to life and a
well-designed theme can be integrated throughout the meeting. Our gallery
of logos might just give you some ideas for your next event!

Script Writing
Script writing
is an art. We have the skill to help your speakers, your Master of
Ceremonies or any other presenter who could use a hand. When the theme
needs to be researched, we do that too. From James Bond to Mardi Gras,
we find the tie-ins to make the meeting fun and on target.

Agenda Planning
A meeting is like
a great work of music. There are exciting sections and subdued moments
and all the elements build to the Grand Finale. We understand how to
put the building blocks together to maximize your audience’s involvement. |
-
Premium Items
Premium Items can
extend your meeting message well beyond the actual event. We can help
with research and recommendations for the perfect items such as jackets,
bags, watches, etc. If you would like, we can turnkey the whole project.
We’ve also had fun designing unique awards including a branding
iron for a western theme and a custom mounted trumpet display for a
New Orleans/jazz theme. |

Print Design
Don’t neglect
the printed literature! Quality print design reflects dramatically on
your event. From custom invitations to agendas to signage, we have the
graphic talent to incorporate your theme throughout your print package.
We see many of our custom designed notepads being used years after the
event. |

The equipment needs
to work … and work perfectly. We work closely with only our approved
equipment partners to assure state-of-the-art equipment. From a simple
LCD projector, to a full sound & lighting rig for a major artist,
the one constant is perfectly functioning equipment. And the technicians
we choose are among the most experienced and talented in the industry. |

Video is a powerful
medium, especially when used in a meeting or event. It can entertain,
motivate, inform and stir emotions. Call us for a free CD-ROM or DVD

Talent & Entertainment
We have had the
pleasure of working with a myriad of guest speakers and entertainers.
From Lee Greenwood to General Schwarzkopf, from the Beach Boys to Mario
Andretti, we know who produces the biggest impact for the budget. We
also research and recommend specialized talent for Master of Ceremonies
work as well as lesser known, but show-stopping general session speakers
and entertainers. You can count on us to present options that will fit

Presentation / On-Site Management
We handle everything
in the meeting room … period. Sure, you’re welcome to stop
in and see how it’s going, but our goal is to free you up to handle
the thousands of other details that always need your attention. With
careful pre-planning, you already know what to expect … and we
deliver. |
