NXTevent Receives Boston 2004 Vendor Certification

Regional Boston, MA November 2003 - NXTevent has sought and successfully obtained vendor certification through Boston 2004 to do business with organizations at the Democratic National Convention. Under the leadership of Mayor Thomas M. Menino, the City of Boston, along with its business and community leaders, has been working since 1998 to bring a national political convention to Boston.

“The first opportunity has presented itself in the RFP Boston 2004 Media Party. 15,000 media guests for one night at the brand new Boston Convention and Exhibition Complex. What a fantastic opportunity to place this world class complex in the center of media attention as the kick off to Boston’s most significant event in 2004.” Allyson O'Connor, Founder and President. “It’s clear that the Boston 2004 Committee has an incredible vision and that they are taking very carefully planned steps to realize their mission. The impact of their work will resound in economic impact to the City of Boston and the entire region for years to come. The very least we could do at NXTevent is participate in their mission and their outreach program.”

“The convention will bring millions of event dollars to the area. As part of their stated mission, the Boston 2004 host committee wants to ensure a quality experience for the convention attendees and the public, all of the City and DNC events by coordinated through their organization. The Boston 2004 vendor certification requirement is important to their process, as well as ours so that we can be responsibly engaged in the DNC. We are excited about the Boston 2004 certification, as it not only allows NXTevent to participate but also has prepared us to respond to requests that will naturally come our way in the next few months.” 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.
