Meet the Team
Conference and Event Services
Our team includes event specialists and technical, scheduling, and ticketing staff. Together, we collaborate with event owners and campus partners to cover all of the event planning bases, from ideation to event-day logistics. We support both internal and rental events, including performances, workshops and seminars, conferences, banquets, meetings, and camps.
For us, the “Bethel difference” means delivering beyond-expectation service to our clients and successful event experiences for their guests. We love building events and, in doing so, building client confidence. It’s all about the right details and good communication. Reach out to us today about your next event.
