When we brought our annual conference attracting 6500 attendees to Philadelphia, the staff of the American Alliance of Museums was very pleased with the organization skills of Albrecht Events and their ability to keep six committees on task to plan the meeting, which showcased Philadelphia to visitors from all over the world. Albrecht’s knowledge of the unique local flair and personal attention to every detail produced a truly memorable event for our members.– Dean Phelus, Meetings and Professional Education, American Alliance of Museums
