About Kris Towers

I am an Event Planner with a demonstrated history of planning, coordinating, and executing events of all sizes. With every project, I strive to bring a strategic, detail-oriented, and creative approach. No matter the event size, I thrive on transforming ideas into seamless experiences that attendees will remember long after the event is complete. My background spans a wide range of event types- including large corporate meetings, private convenings, luncheons, banquets, trade shows, concerts, and camps. I excel at managing all aspects of event production: venue sourcing, budgeting, registration, travel, vendor coordination, team leadership, onsite logistics, and every other aspect that comes with producing a successful event. Known for staying calm under pressure and solving problems before they arise, I am passionate about exceeding expectations and raising the bar with each event while building strong relationships with clients, vendors, and venues.
