RGI exceeded expectations by easily overcoming challenges we presented as a client. We had a limited budget, to which they offered scaled-back options; we gave them a shortened timeline which they managed through seamlessly. They provided support with every detail, venue options, tech support, F&B recommendations, etc. They spent time understanding our organization before beginning their work.
