DYNAMIC EVENTS
Market Maker Events produces and manages events that bring people together in a dynamic, face-to-face environment so they can succeed in business. Our aim is to give our exhibitors events that produce the highest possible ROI and to give attendees a unique, one-of-a-kind experience so they can source product, network and build their businesses. Most people can get what they need for business by sitting in front of a computer. Our job as event producers is to make our live events "must-attend" by creating impactful and useful content - with products, education & information.

"Our organization recently hired Market Maker Events to assist in compiling due diligence reports and a complete SWAT analysis for a tradeshow we wanted to acquire. We chose to work with Market Maker Events due to their extensive experience and highly regarded reputation within the tradeshow industry. Lori and Barbara did not disappoint! They provided us with detailed reports which included, a complete analysis of the event, potential areas for growth, an outlook of future growth for the event and in-depth historical statistics on the event. Lori and Barbara were just as invested in this process as our organization. What impressed me most was how they were able to accomplish the due diligence process with a very tight deadline. We could not have accomplished this process without them."

"We interviewed several firms and selected Barbara Stroup’s firm Market Maker Events. The firm had the experience we needed and referrals especially from the Georgia World Congress Center’s General Manager Mark Zimmerman said Barbara would get the job done demonstrating professionalism and the ability to work effectively with our team. Mark was right on. We could not have selected a better firm and Barbara was a pleasure to work with. Without hesitation I would work with Barbara on any event where a professional event planning firm is required. Even on a smaller event Barbara will make the difference between an average and excellent event. You can count on her!"

"Mohawk is extremely excited to be a part of the 2020 Southwest Flooring Market. Having the many different flooring companies and manufacturers under one roof offers a level of convenience that our dealers have been looking for in this yearly event, but hosting them at AT&T Stadium now makes this truly a unique experience."
