WE SAY: The agency that would slap this smug look off our faces if we called them an agency (catch us if you can) models itself after consultancy McKinsey—and it shows. One of the world's most sophisticated event designers is also one of the industry's most strategic partners, pouring more market research and analysis into solutions than you can shake a stick at.

RECESSION BUSTER: Keep social media alive between events. Leveraging Facebook and Twitter is more important after the event than during it.
