Special Event Management

California Host has developed a tremendous reputation as a Special Event Management Company. We are particularly known for “over the top” events. If you’ve worked in Silicon Valley you have probably been to one of our special events. It may have been the 25th anniversary of Fairchild Semiconductor in the 70’s, the launch of Macintosh in the 80’s, or one of the “sky’s the limit” AMD events in the 90’s. Unlike San Francisco of the 60’s, if you were there, you remember!

It is said that every special event is a marketing opportunity. As a Special Event Management Company, California Host knows that every event is a marketing necessity. At every client, public or employee event, attendees will walk away with a message, whether you know it or not: “This is a professional organization”, “my company really cares about me” or “this is the type of company we need to partner with”. California Host helps control the message of your special event.

We work with our clients to understand the branding, messaging and desired outcomes at the beginning. We ask the right questions and more importantly listen carefully. Success leaves clues and your past events shed light on what has worked and what has not. Every company’s culture is different and that is why we custom design every event. And don’t let our name fool you, we can plan your special event around the globe by putting our worldwide Destination Management Company experience to work for you.
