When you need help with an event, I'm your gal. I've led the charge on virtually every kind of event you can think of: Conferences, SKOs, World Tours, Road Shows, Experiential, Trade Shows, Offsites and Retreats, Parties, Launches, Partner Conferences, Fan Cons, Concerts, Leadership Summits and much more.

I've managed multi-million dollar, highly visible events from inception through successful conclusion. I've also been the lead on scrappy events that relied more on creative thinking than budget. If you have challenges, let me be the solution.

I'm flexible. I've worked for agencies, strategy firms, directly with clients, and have even done an inhouse position or two. Do you need to hand something off and just have someone who will for sure deliver while you focus on other things? Yup, I can do that. Do you need someone who is integrated with your internal team throughout the event planning and execution? Well, you are in luck - that is also something I do.

Oh, and I love a good spreadsheet and adore budgets.

Solutions!

Bring Me In When...

  • Your team is stretched.

    You've got an important event and need someone senior who can own a program or workstream without a lot of hand-holding.
    • Something big just landed.

      SKO. Customer conference. World tour. Executive summit. Trade show. You need someone who's done this before.
      • You need help, but don't need an agency.

        You need an experienced producer who can plug directly into your team.
        • You need someone to take the ball and run.

          Give me the objective, stakeholders and constraints. I'll build and execute the plan and get it across the finish line.
          • Things have gotten complicated.

            Budgets, vendors, agencies, executives, registration, production, content, venues, attendee experience -- I love to unravel complicated.
            What People Say

            I had the privilege of working with Ashli on a 45,000-attendee event. She was amazing. When Ashli joined the team, everything changed. She brought her experience, wisdom, and hard work to the table and made the event work far more smoothly... I have seen her work under extreme levels of pressure that most people would crack under, but she just suited up and got the job done. I can't recommend Ashli highly enough - if you are planning any kind of event, big, small, or somewhere in between, this is the woman you want managing it.

            Ashli is a budget master and helped me come in under budget by nearly $250K on my latest program. She's a master at reviewing and understanding every detail of the event and/or meeting she's managing. I will gladly hire Ashli again in the future when ever I have the chance!

            Ashli Lewis is a joy and so easy to work with, resourceful, efficient, and she just gets things done!
