What Team Members Say
“Working on multiple events over the years with O’Shea Events has truly been a pleasure. As a contractor, the benefit of working with Sally allows our team to plan accordingly, reduce labor expense, and perform our tasks that are organized and well planned in advance of the event. No matter the event or location, Sally demonstrates professionalism and knowledge of the event business, and how to manage all functions and personalities involved.”

“Sally O’Shea, the one and only! Our work with O’Shea Events started in 2001 and has continued through the years with many projects. Sally is the most thorough, detailed, and competent Show Manager I have worked with in my 40 years in the convention industry. Her dedication and follow through on the detail of all aspects of the events, from the RFP through to the final invoicing, have created a true feeling of respect for her knowledge, negotiation skills and professionalism.”
Andy Minton, CMP, Director of National Sales

“I have worked with Sally and O’Shea Events on many events over the past 18 years. In each case, Conexsys Registration provides the event registration services both online and onsite as well as the lead retrieval services for exhibitors. Sally is the ultimate professional event planner of trade shows, conferences and corporate events. At each event we participated in Sally made our job easy. The events typically showed growth in size, attendance and exhibitors base because of her excellent concepts and marketing ideas. Her dedication to a project is truly remarkable. Her planning from start to finish is uncompromising. Sally’s accuracy, proof reading, communication, and marketing skills are strong. She is a tough, but fair negotiator. Sally handles all people with dignity and skill. I have great confidence in any events O’Shea Events produce. Conexsys will always look forward to working the events.

“Collaborating with Sally O’Shea of O’Shea Events for the EP Henry Mid-Atlantic Hardscaping Trade Show (MAHTS), the longest running hardscaping expo in North America, was an incredible, professional experience of well-coordinated, thoughtful and precise planning. O’Shea Events provided the focused-driven direction and communication necessary to harmoniously produce the expo printed materials. Witnessing the emergence and exciting launch of the annual expo under Sally’s direction was truly a professional highlight!”

“As show manager of the Mid-Atlantic Hardscaping Show, Sally was a very efficient leader. She expanded the show for her client, EP Henry, and introduced new initiatives to the event, which contributed greatly to the show’s appeal to their distributors and installers. She is flexible, creative, and a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend her services.”

“Sally O’Shea is the most organized and detail oriented event organizer. Cast Lighting and I have attended, sponsored and presented at her MAHTS events and she is always spot on with her passion and energy. Her teams of professionals are always working hard for you. With the help of O’Shea Events your event will be well attended.”

“Whenever I worked an event with Sally O’ Shea, I knew it was going to be successful! Sally was always prepared for a meeting or a conference call. This made it easy to review what worked well and what needed to be improved. Sally was pleasant, personable and her candor allowed for open communication. Lastly, Sally always demonstrated professionalism even in the face of adversity. I remember numerous challenges over the years but Sally always had a calm demeanor and was able to find the best solution.”
Steve Jost, Sales Manager – PSAV®
Atlantic City Convention Center
“I have worked with O’Shea Events over the past 15 years first from the show committee and staff and later as an exhibitor and sponsor. Sally was instrumental in directing EP Henry’s efforts to grow the show attendance from 600 attendee’s at a small venue to more than 3,500 at the Atlantic City Convention Center. After leaving EP Henry in 2006 and joining Snap Edge Corporation now SEK/ Surebond, I then found myself on the other end of the event as an Exhibitor/Sponsor. So to work with O’Shea Events from both sides I can say first hand that she handles herself in the upmost professional manner for both the show owner and to their exhibitors as well as attendee’s. O’Shea Events is considerate to everyone’s needs and is accommodating at every opportunity to do so. Her compassion for the success of the trade show from every angle is very noticeable no matter what side you are on. O’Shea Events takes the guess work out of everything from conducting negotiations to obtaining the best deals on the decorating of the floor, and coordinating every meeting and meal detail makes Sally and O’Shea Events one of the most trusted meeting planning firms in our industry.”
Michael DiRienzo, Regional Sales Representative

“I always look forward to industry events when Sally is in charge. Organized, professional and very detail oriented. I travel the country speaking at events and come across many show managers, I can truly say that Sally is the best. An Asset to any organization that requires high level show management with very personalized service. Sally knows the business of navigating the world of contractors in the hardscape and green industry.”
