Event Management

Numerous organizations have engaged WSC to successfully develop and execute meetings, conferences, and other events on Capitol Hill, around the Washington, DC area, and at clients sites across the country.

In addition to material and logistical support, WSC often participates in events as expert speakers on a host of public policy issues. We are asked to share our intelligence on developing legislative trends, to discuss matters involving advocacy and funding opportunities, and to offer education on selected topics for which our reporting and analysis have been engaged.

WSC has successfully executed dozens of high-profile meetings, conferences, and Capitol Hill Advocacy Days. This includes managing every detail of an official Inaugural Ball in 2009. Celebrating the inauguration of President Barack Obama, the Ball was attended by more than 1,500 people, including Members of the US Senate, US House, and other prominent public officials.
