Well, working as a key member of Kardon Group and other technology providers for 20 years, Karla Kreitner started doing events when she organized the companies’ annual client meetings and seminars. The company would host training seminars and client appreciation events around the country. Airline and hotel reservations as well as complete agendas, meeting rooms and all other venue arrangements were coordinated by Karla. Not only did Karla do a fantastic job year in and year out, but she enjoyed that aspect of planning successful events. Thus the creation of Kardon Events. Since the start of Kardon Events in 2006, Karla has orchestrated one of a kind events that include Client & Employee Appreciations, Birthday and Anniversary parties, major fundraisers and unique corporate and social events. |
