Here at The Event Shop, we pride ourselves in our matchmaking skills. Since our founding in 2000, we have simplified the sourcing of event sponsorships for our clients. On the agency/brand/sponsor side, we’ve saved countless numbers of man hours by quickly locating the best local events to build brands. On the event producer side, we have brought millions sponsorship dollars to local events.
The key to our success is that we truly understand each of the stakeholder needs in event sponsorship arrangements. When it comes to event marketing, one of the most difficult steps is finding the right events, and working through their individual details. When it comes to running a successful event, we understand that sponsorships add much needed dollars to your event’s bottom line, but event producers also need to make sure that sponsors fit their event.
We pride ourselves in being easy (and friendly) to work with. Additionally, we are much more than another event listing agency. While we do employ technology and easy ways to access the information you need, we also have a helpful, experienced and knowledgable staff to truly tailor this process to quickly meet individual needs.
Let us show you what we can do for you. Contact us today.

President (no Secret Service needed)
Having spent many years in the radio industry, Dave Demer brings 20 years of sales and marketing and event expertise to The Event Shop. His experience spans both event production and sponsorship. While working in radio, Dave quickly realized that event marketers have budgets, but many events have no good way of getting their event in front of nationwide sponsor. He founded The Event Shop as a niche company to make this process easier.
Dave specializes in combining creative yet strategic marketing plans with concrete sales initiatives. His experience includes buying media, creating ads, and planning large scale marketing events.

Deena Walter
Director of Sales (also known as the Event Guru)
Director of Sales (also known as the Event Guru)
Deena holds the title Event Marketing Guru, just because “she knows everything about every event ever” doesn’t look good on business cards. Raised in Atlanta, she’s now destined to always live within 3 blocks of an ocean, so that noise in the background when you call her isn’t static, it’s waves.

Operations Manager (she carries event wrist bands like a janitor carries keys)
Operations Manager (she carries event wrist bands like a janitor carries keys)
Carol has lots of years of experience in working with really serious people managing operations and marketing in the healthcare and non-profit industries. She can write clever copy, spin a great story, run a mean report and keep things organized. However, Carol still kinda freaks out a bit when she hears boisterous laughter and mayhem in the office, but that’s getting better with time.

Accounting Manager (An accounting person with a personality, who knew?)
Dawn keeps track of our numbers, which is good because the rest of us would rather talk about great event marketing campaigns than numbers. Her years of experience doing accounting for industries that revolve around creative people have taught her to keep focused on details while boxes of samples for events are stacked around her.
