"The Balcom Group has been an integral part of our success in hosting seminars and conferences for nearly five years. They've almost become a part of our staff, and we wouldn't run a conference without them. We offload our worries to them, and Marti and her team have never let us down. The skills and experience they bring have enabled us to accomplish far more than we would've on our own, and they've saved us lots of money, too." Tim Walter, CEO |

"For the past 7 years, we have had the very good fortune and privilege to have The Balcom Group as an indispensable member of our meeting planning and design team for our annual meeting (Forum), our signature event. The consummate professionals, The Balcom Group provides a level of client service unsurpassed in their industry--performed with the highest level of energy, passion, dedication, and commitment to the task at hand. No job is too large or too small...their "can-do" attitude is a huge reason why our Forum is considered the premier workforce development conference year in and year out." Mark Schultz, Former Chief Operating Officer |

"The National Association of Workforce Development Professionals has relied on The Balcom Group since 2000 to manage our national conference. They are more than a conference management company -- they are like an extension of our staff. Without their extensive expertise, honest advice and generous moral support we never would have survived the difficult relocation of our conference from New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina."
C. Paul Mendez, Former President |

"The Neighborhood Funders Group has used the services of the Balcom Group for over seven years. They have been a critical part of our conferences and we have only received rave reviews from members and conference participants on their work. They have saved us thousands of dollars in conference expenses over the years and have provided us with creative solutions to problems and issues that arise as we have worked together to organize our annual conferences." Spence Limbocker, Retired Executive Director |

"TWA has never run a conference without the help and guidance of the folks at The Balcom Group. I first met Marti and her team when they were managing a complicated event for my former employer, and that experience convinced me to make TBG the Alliance’s conference planner when I started the organization. They were incredibly patient and helpful when we first started out, providing more hands on assistance (and anxiety reduction) than I could have asked for. TBG consistently pays for itself in what they save us on event costs—and I’m sure they’ve probably prevented the loss of a staff-person or two by making things so easy on us at crunch time. And did I mention they’re a lot of fun to work with? It’s always a pleasure." Andy Van Kleunen, Executive Director |

For the last 15 years, the Balcom Group has provided outstanding conference management services to our organization with the highest degree of professionalism and integrity. Our conference attendees are made to feel that they are the our organization's highest priority. Our staff know there is no request too large or too small. The Balcom Group is the model of what a consultant should be." Jill Miller, President/CEO |
