Testimonials from recent KOB Event Solutions clients:

Kris O’Brien is an incredible asset to any team. Her professionalism, follow-through, attention to detail and efficient approach makes any event she touches best in class. She is able to see everything from the strategic goals of the event down to the smallest details which enhance the attendee experience in a way that makes any event she plans a wonderful affair.

We engaged with Kris on a short term small sales meeting for logistics support. The meeting grew as two other parts of the Radisson Hotel Group joined the our sales meeting. Kris picked up all of the logistics for all three meetings and managed it as if she had been working with us for years. Her attention to detail and follow through made all of the meetings a huge success.
— Ross H - Vice President of Sales and Distribution - Major Hotel Chain
Working with Kris O’Brien is always a true pleasure. As a CSM it is comforting to know I will be collaborating with someone who is extraordinarily organized, thorough and anticipatory. She sets forth her expectations very clearly and always communicates the client’s objectives to ensure the success of the conference or event. When her groups get on site things are seamless! Kris meets every deadline so there is no scrambling. We always walk through logistics multiple times in advance and make adaptations to improve the flow. With her wealth of experience and knowledge, Kris is in relaxed command and easily builds loyalty and trust with clients, suppliers, support staff and event attendees. She’s is a true professional!
