women and interns made going into the office every day so exciting and I looked forward to every 

interaction. It's very interactive and every day there is a new and exciting task.” Nikki G., Events Intern

and contacting vendors, to going on-site walks and working set-up to break down, I was able to gain 

first-hand experience in the event industry. I value all the knowledge I gained and would highly 

recommend this internship to anyone who is interested in getting started in events.” Beth S., Events
