Event planning and marketing company the Laureli Group recently launched Meetings That Give Back, a division that specializes in organizing team-based community-service projects for corporations. The group, which has experience coordinating sales and press meetings for United Artists and DirecTV, will review a firm’s mission and resources and customize projects that suit the company’s and the community’s needs. A local project with as many as 50 participants ranges from $7,500 to $15,000, depending on the scope and location of the project, as well as necessary materials.
![For the after-party, Event Eleven built three 30-foot pagodas and hung 300 lanterns from the ceiling. They also brought in a 20-foot-tall bonsai tree and a variety of 30-foot red maples, along with other greenery and foliage. '[It all] helped create the organic atmosphere and helped transport guests into a gardenlike room,' said Schubert.](https://img.bizbash.com/files/base/bizbash/bzb/image/2024/02/Shogun.41_f.65dba8f23433b.png?auto=format%2Ccompress&dpr=2&fit=crop&h=167&q=70&w=250)
