Event management company Hyland Events opened for business
earlier this month in Washington, specializing in special event
planning for the hospitality and tourism industries as well as nonprofit
organizations, trade associations, and corporations. The sister company of
Hyland Group, a sales and marketing firm catering to the hospitality industry, Hyland
Events’ services include overall event management, organization of attendee
registration, and arranging transportation and travel needs.
“Some of the Hyland Group’s clients were interested in special event planning ... more than what the company offered,” said Erin Tench, president of Hyland Events and the former director of events and communications for the Hyland Group. “We saw an opportunity for us to develop a company focused exclusively on special event planning.” The Hyland Group is Hyland Events’ first client, naturally. While Tench said other contracts are in the works, she declined to identify potential clients.
