“The team at Blueprint have ALL of the qualities that are needed to help put on a successful event. They are detail oriented, yet also creative. They follow direction, yet also suggest improvements. They are seriously focused, yet will also bring a smile and heart to the work. We used them this year for the first time and our event is VERY unique with a very steep learning curve and Blueprint took it upon themselves to not only learn our needs, but learn the event. They asked all the right questions and showed us that they were not just interested in "putting on the event" but also want to understand what the event can and should be. And finally, whenever we ran into a roadblock, the Blueprint team had a contact and connection that could help us solve the problem.”

“I thought the Alzheimers Association State Conference was great. The panel on the second day was just fabulous – one of the best sessions ever.  I was happy to be a sponsor! Also, working with you was really awesome.  In the past I have been a bit unsure when an agency comes in to “do” the conference as sometimes they lack a sense of ownership or pride or something.  You seemed to be very invested and gave it your all which helped improve my confidence in how the conference would go and also made it much easier to ask my boss for the money to sponsor.”

"I had the pleasure of working with Kennedy while she was employed at the Chamber. Time after time Kennedy rose to the occasion as we redefined the Chamber event experience. She proved herself to be focused, dependable and a multitasker. I would not hesitate to recommend her as a partner for your future event."
