EVENT HEADQUARTERS: FOR PLANNERS, BY PLANNERS

Welcome to Event Headquarters (EHQ). EHQ is an event planner’s dream
web site. It’s much more than a directory, it’s a community in which
peers share resources and exchange ideas via an online discussion board,
face-to-face networking events, and an extensive member-generated
directory.

The driving force behind Event Headquarters is that it is “For planners, by
planners.” Our mission is to better the event industry by using the people
and resources within it to make it stronger. EHQ is a unique site geared
specifically towards planners with support from vendors, venues and
related professionals.

EHQ was created for you, the industry professional, and provides an
opportunity to share your expertise, gain valuable advice, and continue to
build this rapidly growing industry. Directly list your events, post your
services, and connect to the resources you need. We don’t need to tell
you what’s going on in our industry….We let you do the reporting.

HOW IT ALL BEGAN

As a newbie to New York’s event industry, Danielle Scherman recognized
that she received her best advice from colleagues and friends, and so
decided to create a forum for others to benefit in the same way. Once
the online discussion board known as New York Event Planners (NYEP) was
established in 2003, she recognized that this forum not only helped
answer people’s questions and connect planners with resources, but also
created a sense of community within the event world.

The demand for NYEP grew beyond New York and new chapters of ‘Event
Planners’ sprang up throughout the country. In an effort to unite planners
and serve their growing needs, Event Headquarters was born. EHQ is a
constantly evolving resource, designed to satisfy your growing needs,
adapt to the latest industry trends and will continue to grow based on
industry needs.
