NXTevent Receives City of Boston S/LBE Certification

Regional Boston, MA July, 2003 - NXTevent has sought and successfully obtained certification through the City of Boston Small and Local Business Enterprise Office. The mission of the Small and Local Business Enterprise Office (S/LBE) is to create economic opportunity to small Boston-based business enterprises, and minority- and women-owned business enterprises. This certification is an advocate on behalf of the businesses allowing them to compete successfully for City contracts, as well as in the Boston area’s business economy as a whole.

“The S/LBE certification is a powerful tool for NXTevent. Without a doubt, through a series of efforts for multiple business certifications, we are now moving from the radar to the forefront in government, city and regional economic opportunities requiring event marketing, design and planning.” Allyson O'Connor, Founder and President. “We have already worked with the City indirectly through our contracts with The BCC, Advantage Boston and the International Downtown Association. We are excited to work with City agencies and constituencies directly to realize the same type of results we have for our other clients.”

“NXTevent is passionately committed to be a driving force in bringing positive economic impact to Boston. Of course, as meeting and event planners, we absolutely correlate the opening of the new Boston Convention and Exhibition Center as a pinnacle point in exploding Boston back into the first tier choices for premier industry, corporate and association related events. This S/LBE will become a critical marketing tool for NXTevent when working with organizations coming to the region, as well as businesses within the region. “ Karen Zilinek, Director of Business Development.

Dedicated to the art of event, meeting & destination management in Boston & New England, NXTevent is global in scope yet regional in resourcefulness
