Why choose The LaClare Group for your meetings and events?

Are you responsible for the meeting’s success, but lacking the time (or experience) to make it happen all by yourself?

​

Maybe you’re not a “details” person. No worries — you don’t have to be, because we are!

​

Our expertise is in planning and operating multi-day events. We handle it all, from finding the perfect location and negotiating contracts in your best interest to managing the online registration process and delivering a well-executed meeting, on budget.

​

While we work with clients from many different industries, we have a great deal of experience working with companies in the medical device and life science fields.

​

Clients tell us we’re a trusted extension of their team because we have their back (we do!) 

The bottom line: your success is our success.

​

That’s why most of our relationships are long-term. Our clients are happy with the results we deliver and want the same fantastic experience for their next event, and the one after that, and the one after that…
