The Black Innovation Alliance Sustainability Summit
EMPOWERING ACTIONABLE CHANGE
OneTouch Events partnered with the Black Innovation Alliance (BIA) to orchestrate the 2nd Annual Black Innovation Alliance Sustainability Summit in Miami, Florida, a 5-day summit that convened executives, industry leaders, and members to explore sustainability, innovation, and collaboration.
Our initial challenge was to secure an ideal venue for the summit. Leveraging our network, we identified potential locations and conducted negotiations with the client's budget and requirements in mind. After careful consideration, the Kimpton EPIC Hotel in Miami, FL was chosen as the primary conference venue.
With the venue secured, our focus shifted to event planning and design. We collaborated closely with the Kimpton EPIC to refine logistical details and enhance the event experience. Our responsibilities included designing floor plans, curating culinary experiences, and crafting a schedule that balanced informative sessions with networking opportunities.
We organized engaging off-site excursions to enrich the conference experience. One highlight was a cross-pollination dinner at Ceviche 105, fostering networking and collaboration among attendees. The inaugural Spirit of BIA Awards dinner at Joia Beach Club celebrated outstanding achievements and provided a memorable finale to the summit.
Jenna Scott, Chief of Staff, praised OneTouch Events for their professionalism and attention to detail, highlighting a longstanding partnership that began with her wedding planning 10+ years ago.
From event strategy to onsite management and travel planning, which included flights, hotel accommodations, and airport ground transfers for 120+ attendees, OneTouch Events ensured the success of the summit, demonstrating a commitment to excellence.

THE DUALITY OF DESIGN + ENGAGEMENT IN A HYBRID WORLD
In-person conferences thrive on in-person engagement and proximity to the speakers. But when government restrictions reduced gatherings to a math equation of square footage x distance x number of attendees, business owners required creative solutions. Tasked with creating a hybrid conference experience for 250+ attendees, we set out to match the energy of in-person conferences and deliver more than “just another online meeting.” As a result, The OneTouch Events Hybrid Event Experience was born.
Intending to mirror in-person engagement, we focused on the user experience. To mimic the feeling of being IN the physical room through the attendee’s screen, we enhanced the stage presence to be larger than life and crafted the most vibrant version of our original design. Instead of a 'Click to Join' action, attendees received a personalized portal to receive meeting materials. There, they were greeted by live event team members for online check-in, which offered them the personal connection so many craved during a pandemic. During breaks, attendees could participate in 1:1 meetings and throughout the event, they received consistent 2-way engagement from the stage to the attendee’s home.
Giving voice, screen highlights, and an active presence in the virtual room (as well as the live room) made for the most engaging virtual meeting experience many had ever attended. The raves are still raving.

A Journey with EJT Consulting
EMPOWERING EDUCATIONAL CONSULTANTS ACROSS THE US
OneTouch Events partnered with Dr. Erica Jordan-Thomas of EJT Consulting for the third consecutive year, organizing a series of six empowering events for educational consultants aiming to grow their businesses to six and seven figures. The collaboration spanned a multi-city tour (Charlotte, Atlanta, Chicago, and New York), a 2-day Mastermind Retreat in Atlanta, and the flagship 3-day conference, Seven Figure Educator LIVE, held at the Intercontinental Buckhead Hotel in Atlanta, GA. The challenge was to create unique experiences for each event while maintaining a cohesive narrative reflecting EJT Consulting’s mission.
Securing venues and aligning them with the client’s strategy was our first task for the multi-city tour, alongside negotiating contracts with local service providers and ensuring logistical requirements were met. The Mastermind Retreat focused on intimacy and exclusivity, balancing content-rich sessions with personalized touches and group dining. Our role extended to on-site management, ensuring flawless execution.
At Seven Figure Educator LIVE, we transformed spaces into immersive environments, managing logistics, overseeing vendor production, and providing on-site support. This allowed the EJT Consulting team to focus on client interactions and marketing efforts, resulting in increased client satisfaction, sales, and brand awareness.
Whether orchestrating an intimate retreat or a multi-day conference or convention, our team showcased the ability to adapt and deliver exceptional results across varying scales.

Southeast Energy Efficiency Alliance Summit
REIGNITING THE MEMBERSHIP BASE
We deployed the OneTouch Events Comprehensive Planning & Strategy activities with three strategic objectives in mind:
- Reignite the base
- Foster engagement
- Celebrate the organization's 15th anniversary
The customized experience for the SEEA Summit included site selection, dynamic floor planning for multi-use spaces, event app technology infusion for registration, and event management. The resulting summit featured over 20 expert-led breakout sessions, innovative presentations by sponsors, the Inaugural Summit Awards Lunch, and 1:1 engagement with the new SEEA leadership team. To top it all off, our team channeled the celebrative energy of the anniversary into SEEA’s re-introduction of their signature networking reception by adding karaoke with a twist – karaoke singers were backed by a live rock band!
Collectively committed to effective energy solutions in the southeast, these movers, shakers, and innovators convened in Atlanta to learn, collaborate and celebrate. Upon conclusion of the 3.5 days, the verdict was in: the SEEA 15th Anniversary Summit was an energetic success.
