Testimonial
“I had the pleasure of working with EVOWK for our Sales meeting in Denver Colorado, 2023. The team did an amazing job helping us pull off a great event. We had limited time and resources due to some changes within our organization and EVOWK kept us on track and on budget. They handled all of the last minute changes in the agenda, speakers and rehearsals we threw at them quickly or gave us alternatives to make the event go off seamlessly. They did a tremendous amount of work putting in late nights and long days to make sure we were 100% satisfied. They were not only professional and extremely responsive but they are also such a fun team to work with and they truly have become part of the family and we will continue to work with them for upcoming events.”
