About CES

At Connected Event Strategies (CES), we focus our efforts on… well, connections. We believe that when attendees and VIPs leave your event feeling engaged and valued, they become more motivated and even more committed to achieving their goals.

Our core values — integrity, efficiency, and creativity— drive our operations. We combine precision with innovation, delivering events that balance structure with surprise and delights.

CES has extensive expertise in hospitality and protocol, which ensures every guest feels respected and at ease. We know that a positive guest experience translates into a higher return on investment and collaboration.

With over six years of event and travel experience, CES is ready to take your event to the next level — whether it’s a large-scale conference or a high-profile international meeting.
