Behind the scenes at a tasting for the 32nd Annual Chicago Neighborhood Development Awards, a fun perk of the job!

We visited with our friends at to sample the menu for the big night. Our biggest issue now is how to narrow down the choices. Every plate was SO good. Attendees are in for a real treat!

The CNDA’s will return to on June 25 for an evening dedicated to celebrating the individuals and organizations that are building stronger, more vibrant neighborhoods across Chicago.

We’re very proud to help bring this event to life year after year.

Sustainability in events isn’t about doing everything perfectly. It’s about making more intentional choices, one event at a time.

Sourcing locally, building a reusable inventory, rethinking what actually needs to be printed, small shifts that add up over time and hurt the earth a little less.

Swipe for a few of the ways we are thinking about this at ESP Presents.

20 hours, two cities, a corporate event in Phoenix, a flight to Maui, and a little rain that wasn’t going to stop us…✈️

Event life isn’t always the easiest life, but we wouldn’t have it any other way!

March wrapped up Q1 with a rhythm we know well — travel, client events, and a little fun squeezed in along the way. A few rainy moments kept us on our toes, but that’s part of it. Excited for the momentum we have created as we head into a busy spring!

Almost 1/3 of our team is composed of Aries!

Their natural leadership, energy, and reliability create a fantastic experience for our clients.

Let’s celebrate their special day and wish them all a very happy birthday! 🎉
