The Central Time
Story

Founded in 2022, Central Time Events embarked on a mission to revolutionize the event industry by enhancing the sales, operations and registration processes for organizers. Rejecting the notion of technology as a replacement for human expertise, the company embraced artificial intelligence as a tool to augment the capabilities of its sales teams, fostering unparalleled service and communication with exhibitors. Central Time Events stands as a beacon of innovation in the industry, blending the precision and efficiency of AI with the personal touch of its dedicated team, crafting not just successful events, but creating enriched experiences and deeper connections that redefine what's possible in event management.

Our Vision

Events are built around building relationships and that is what we are here to do...help our clients create lasting relationships with their exhibitors and attendees.

  • Understand our client's vision as well as they do.

  • Predict and envision places of growth for ourselves and our clients through agile movements.

  • Disrupt the mundane through listening, learning and leading.

Our Culture

Here at Central Time Events, we believe in being curious about everything. If we focus on that, we find that we ask better questions, become better listeners and build deeper relationships. We thrive in an environment that has structure but has the potential for change and growth for everyone. Where our people feel trusted, are treated fairly and are heard.

Fun

Defining 'fun' in our company culture means cultivating a workspace where creativity meets enthusiasm, fostering innovation through joyful collaboration and spirited engagement. It's where passion fuels our daily operations, and the joyous spirit of teamwork propels us towards redefining excellence in the event industry.

Transparent

Our company culture signifies fostering an environment of open dialogue and clear communication, where ideas are shared freely and decisions are made collectively. It's a commitment to building trust and unity, fostering relationships grounded in honesty, clarity, and mutual respect at every level of our operations.

Ownership

Our ethos means embodying a spirit of responsibility and initiative in every task undertaken, where each member acts as a steward of excellence and integrity. It's a pledge to uphold the highest standards in all we do, fostering a culture where accountability and pride in one's work drive innovation and success in the event industry.

Learn

At our core, 'learn' signifies an unyielding commitment to growth and adaptability, where curiosity drives us to constantly evolve and better our craft. It's an embrace of every opportunity to expand knowledge, ensuring that as the event landscape shifts, we're at the forefront, armed with insight and innovation.

Adventurous

We are committed to encouraging a spirit of exploration and daring innovation, where we boldly venture into uncharted territories in the event industry. It's a celebration of the courageous spirit that propels us to take risks, seize opportunities, and constantly redefine the boundaries of what's possible in crafting extraordinary event experiences.

Dance

Having a 'dance' culture means that we not only tackle challenges with gusto but also with a bit of a boogie; where brainstorming sessions might just turn into spontaneous dance-offs. It's the firm belief that a sprinkling of groovy moves and a hearty dose of laughter can ignite creativity and foster a work environment that's as vibrant and harmonious as a well-choreographed dance routine!
