All of which fostered an atmosphere of celebration and joy. A range of activities ensured everyone discovered moments of delight. Even the CEO and top executives joined in, dedicating themselves to event operations: welcoming guests at the registration table, and participating as volunteer staff. Backed by an inclusion-focused budget, attendees could choose from a multitude of activities including relaxing massages, an interactive mural, photo opportunities, roaming entertainment, field games, caricature drawing, balloon art, and more! The expansive outdoor space and favorable weather significantly contributed to the attendee experience. The client regarded the partnership with BeEvents as seamless, an extension of their team

“Children’s Minnesota wanted to do SOMETHING for our staff and volunteers. We just didn’t know what. We brought a few thoughts to BeEvents, who responded quickly with some great ideas. Then, we COMPLETELY changed how we wanted to approach everything, and they pivoted without a moment’s hesitation. The end result was a massive event for thousands of people and the response has been near-universally positive. The quality of the end product was matched only by our experience with BeEvents in putting it all together. We could not be more grateful. Thank you!”
