National Science Teachers Association (NSTA) has contracted with Event Advisory Group, LLC (EAG), an event consulting firm, to continue supporting the organization to improve the performance of their event portfolio based on the recommendations EAG made after conducting their unbiased 360° Review this past spring.
The three month long process involved a thorough review and analysis of NSTA’s National Conference, three Regional Conferences, and the STEM Conference, including financials, branding, programming, sales and marketing initiatives, data, processes and contracts. EAG identified several areas where NSTA can improve the financial and operational performance of their events, reduce costs and increase efficiencies, as well as increase the brand and member value they provide. EAG delivered to NSTA a comprehensive report detailing financial projections, actionable intelligence and recommendations they can execute in the short term and over the next several years to ensure event profitability and sustainable growth.
Realizing the importance of implementing EAG’s recommendations and the need to do so in the most efficient and effective manner possible, NSTA has engaged EAG to serve as an extension of their staff for the next 12 months in support of their conference, marketing and sales teams in the planning and implementation of new programs, initiatives and technologies.
“Working with EAG has been a most rewarding experience. What a pleasure to work with such a team of competent, friendly and experienced individuals!” stated Delores Howard, NSTA’s associate executive director for conferences and exhibits/sales. “EAG’s 360° Review was efficient, thorough, focused and invaluable to the enhanced success of our event portfolio.”
“NSTA provides unparalleled education content for teachers, and marketing opportunities to companies wanting to reach science educators,” stated Rick Dobson, one of the EAG partners. “Our team has thoroughly enjoyed working with the NSTA staff. They are clearly eager to consider new strategies and programs that have the potential to reach a wider audience, as well as improve the financial and brand performance of their events.”
“NSTA is especially excited about the potential growth that will be realized through our continued partnership with EAG,” said Ms. Howard. “We look forward to working with the EAG partners over the next 12 months to implement the recommendations from their 360° review. We are confident this will result in improved efficiencies in our conference and exhibit operations as well as greater financial success.”
“We look forward to helping guide NSTA over the coming months to take full advantage of revenue-producing opportunities, streamline operations, and implement new technologies and outside resources to build a successful foundation that will ensure continued growth for their events and the organization,” stated Mike Muldoon, an EAG partner.
