As an Accredited Destination Management Company (ADMC), LEO knows that our services, creativity, and attention to detail mean unlimited possibilities. Explore authentic experiences to help your team build skills, relationships, and memories. From music and cuisine to cultural attractions and outdoor activities – it’s the kind of thing Tennessee is made for.

We make it our business, quite literally, to know everything about the cities we call home. Our top off-site venues and activities in Memphis include Graceland, National Civil Rights Museum and the Stax Museum to name a few. In Chattanooga, our top picks for off-site events are Rock City, the Hunter Museum, and Tennessee Aquarium. Both cities have limitless options for off-site dinners, tours, or parties to create a once-in-a-lifetime event for your group!

It’s not you, it’s your brand – first impressions matter. At LEO, we understand the value and importance that consistent branding and design bring to an event. Having an environment that represents the company culture and message serves as a direct reminder to attendees as they engage with every space. From meeting theme development to dynamic designs at every touchpoint, our team supports all decor details of your event. LEO’s collaborative team of design professionals has a wide array of skills to help tell your story, including show direction, scriptwriting, video development, and creative attendee engagements through interactive, technology-driven features. We work seamlessly with our clients to develop, grow, and elevate their brands to deliver impactful impressions.

At LEO, we’re committed to being good citizens who are active in our communities and strive to positively impact the hospitality industry. As a company, we believe in giving back, and we are proud of the continued work we do to change the lives of people in our local and industry communities – because social good is a moral obligation and a sound, data-supported business strategy. Those values run deep at LEO, so whether you’re planning a fundraiser or a day of service, you can trust that we’ll take care of every detail so that your team can focus solely on doing just that – social good.

We approach virtual events and hybrid experiences with the same sky-high standards and lofty ideals that we have for every traditional event. In collaboration with you, we find the right blend of creativity and technology to package and deliver a deeply engaging, content-rich experience. All of our strategic, creative, and production proficiency transfers to the digital domain – from communications and design to content management, speaker support, rehearsals, and end-to-end A/V production. And of course, technology is a vital component. Accessibility, reliability, security, flexibility, and simplicity are critical considerations to preserve the integrity and quality of your event.

Registration communication is the first chance to make a good impression, whether made online or upon arrival. We see the registration process as a significant meeting component that contributes greatly to attendees’ experience – and to the overall success of the event. We firmly believe that our commitment to customer service sets us apart from our competitors. We work diligently to ensure that all attendees receive excellent attention and care, from the moment they receive their invitation through the processing of their travel arrangements and beyond.

Service is the logistics team’s number one priority–and our level of service is what sets us apart from every other event agency. It is key that our pre-planning team is also your on-site team as your program executes. All of our program leads are scheduled for your program dates, and we choose team members who we feel are a great representation of your brand and culture. While most of the team for your program is LEO staff, we at times select independent contractors for positions that best fit individual roles or events. But rest assured that while a small number of the team won’t be full-time staff members – never more than 15% – 20% of the staff roster for an event – these contractors are truly integral members of our extended family, often in positions where they regularly work for us the majority of the year or are perma-lancers with extended contracts with one of our companies. In the case of either staff member or contract labor, we can assure you that you are getting the right person in the correct position every time.

LEO Events offers the support you need, both pre-event and on-site, to take on the responsibility of preparing and distributing your promotional and conference materials and amenities to the appropriate attendees/locations. For pre-event, LEO works with you to create, execute, and develop these materials. Our team of professionals includes seasoned art directors and writers ready to take on any print-production task necessary. As part of our on-site management, we set up a secure, keyed storage room to store all materials shipped to the meeting site. We also secure office space conveniently situated within the meeting venue. Here, our staff prepares and assembles any printed materials and amenities for distribution.

As part of your program, LEO Events can provide transportation movements to ensure seamless logistics, including pre-event coordination and on-site management. LEO greeters are necessary for every movement, and each comes equipped with greeter signage. A seamless extension of your team, LEO handles all dispatching and logistics with the drivers, communicating by cell with you and your hotel to advise of late arrivals or changes to the program. From arrival and departure to local around-town movements, we’ll get you there in a sedan, SUV, luxury coach, or any other style you desire.
