Meet Plan Go Los Angeles (part of National Event in 17 cities)

Lisa is a terrific organizer, manager and marketer of events. She was able to engage a great keynote speaker as well as a panel of world travelers to share their experiences, find a good location for our evening, and attract a sold out crowd.

She coordinated all the details effortlessly and with her characteristically cheery mood. Lisa spoke very well in launching the evening and kept the excitement elevated as she outlined the agenda. She also ensured all contributors were recognized for their parts of the successful evening.

I would recommend Lisa to organize and speak at any type of event but especially those dealing with travel.
