From Megan

Founder's notes on staffing Connecticut.

Megan Hayward

Connecticut is a market that gets underestimated precisely because it sits between New York and Boston. Events that can't get a venue in Manhattan spill into Stamford. Insurance industry conferences that Hartford hosts quietly rival anything in Chicago. Mohegan Sun and Foxwoods each run a convention operation that most event professionals don't know about. Connecticut's $16.94/hr minimum wage is a feature, not a liability — it means you're getting staff who chose this work, who stayed in it, and who are experienced. Our Connecticut crew reflects the wage floor. The hedge fund event circuit in Stamford requires a specific kind of professionalism: understated, reliable, and never the center of attention. That's exactly what we train for.
