MDS Events

Michele Stephenson established MDS Events in April 2016 after a career spanning hotel sales, destination management and meeting planning. Based in Las Vegas, her company organizes corporate meetings, incentive programs, trade shows and exhibitions in the United States and abroad.

Planning from the first location decision

MDS reviews possible meeting sites against the group's agenda, facilities, budget and travel needs. The work includes contract negotiation and coordination with property managers, followed by hotel arrangements, group air travel, ground transportation and dining.

Stephenson's background includes senior business-development and sales roles, as well as strategic event consulting. She has planned and negotiated programs across Europe, Asia, the Caribbean, Mexico and the United States. Her professional memberships include SITE, Meeting Professionals International and the Incentive Research Foundation.

Details that follow the contract

• Venue, hotel and convention-center coordination.
• Catering, entertainment, décor, activities and team building.
• Audio-visual arrangements and banquet event orders.
• Budget management and payment coordination.

Registration is another part of the service. MDS handles online and on-site registration, reporting, badge preparation and assembly. It also designs, builds and manages mobile event applications so attendees can access program information during the meeting.

The company stays involved from the beginning of a program through execution. Its scope can cover the whole event or the practical planning functions a client needs, connecting travel and accommodation with the meeting itself.

Stephenson named the business in honor of her sons, Dhane and Sean. She remains its CEO and founder, with direct email and phone contact available for clients discussing an upcoming program. The firm has grown through referrals, bringing an owner-led planning relationship to domestic and international assignments.
