About Us

Amy Spatrisano, CMP

President

A favorite quote of Emerson's sums up my approach:

"Do not follow where the path may lead.
Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail."

Often referred to as a pioneer and visionary in the meeting/event industry,

Amy has defined and promoted management practices for sustainable meetings

for nearly two decades.

She has trained and advised all professional levels about sustainable practices, creating collaborative teams to develop and produce short- and long-term implementation strategies.
