Background

About Patti Steele

Steele Meetings & Events, LLC, was founded in April 2010. Prior to that time, I was involved for 15 years in the planning and execution of meetings, events and tradeshows. What I bring to the table is knowledge, experience, professionalism, and a true understanding of the meetings industry. I have managed events as small as VIP receptions for 25 people all the way up to tradeshows for attendees. I have worked on the Consumer Electronics Show (CES, attendees); an IBM employee conference attendees); and the Food Processing Suppliers Association Process Expo which was co-located with the International Dairy Show. I have planned conferences for the Federal Government and for religious groups with special catering needs, as well as non-profits, scientific and medical groups, and for-profit corporations. I maintain great relationships with volunteers, staff members, suppliers, hotel chains, and convention centers. Working with a great attitude has served me well through the years. I can be a tough negotiator when necessary, but I always try for a win-win outcome. That’s what serves my clients best. I have a true passion for this industry and what I do. I genuinely love the details, the people, and bringing it all together.
