David Landgraf
You'd be hard-pressed to find another event planner with the amount of inside knowledge and outside perspective as Landgraf. While other planners may have experience organizing a conference, executive retreat, or board meeting or planning your milestone birthday or wedding, they don’t have the depth or breadth of knowledge that planning thousands of events around the world can bring.
