Press, Praise & Awards
We work hard at Angel Events and take great pride in what we accomplish for our clients. While the look on the attendee's faces when they walk into one of our events is validation enough, sometimes it's fun to get awards and see glowing reviews! Below are a few of the awards recently received, testimonials from past clients, and even Angel herself on the cover of an industry leading publication!
The Meetings Magazines – Corporate & Incentive Travel
"When Angel Hanson, CMP, event marketing manager with Microsoft, was considering sites for the company’s annual xDM meeting in 2014, she turned for the third time to the Anaheim Marriott. The group of 1,100 had 100 percent of the hotel’s meeting rooms and 75 percent of its guest rooms."
The Meetings Magazine – Corporate & Incentive Travel
"Angel Hanson, CMP, CMM, started her event planning career at Microsoft before striking out on her own. Today, as CEO of Seattle-based Angel Events, Hanson relies on the relationships she has built with industry insiders, not only at Microsoft, but around the country."
The Meetings Magazine – Insurance & Financial Meetings Management
"Hanson also recommends including a ‘walk policy’ in the contract. “Walk policy covers your attendees who may arrive late at night and the hotel is oversold,” she says. “If you don’t have a policy in place they can send your attendees away. It’s not something that is in a standard contract, you have to ask for it.”
Strategic Meetings & Events - Savings Superstars
"As the Event Marketing Manager for Microsoft, Angel Hanson has her hand in internal events for the tech giant, ranging from intimate functions to annual company meets of 15,000 attendees.
With 10 years of event experience at Microsoft and nearly 20 in the industry, Hanson has a variety of cost-cutting tips up her sleeve."
"I worked with Angel on multiple high-stakes projects when we were both at Microsoft. Her attention to detail and passion for the work made the logistics smooth, and what truly set Angel apart was her commitment to seeing the event's big picture. She went deep to understand the business goals we had to accomplish, well beyond our goals for the individual event. She helped the leadership team clarify expectations and ambitions, and translated the goals into the 'grace notes' of the attendee experience that helped us leave the impression we wanted."
