Lessons Learned
“The pandemic year taught us how truly resilient we are, how strong we are, and how much we love one another. It showed me what I already knew to be true: Bishop-McCann has an extremely talented, flexible bunch of associates who have evolved and shifted to meet and exceed client demand. It taught us to focus on the business, instead of being so engrained in the business. It proved the importance of refocusing, seeking continuing education, and striving for new ideas continually.” —Amber Heintz, CMP-HC, HMCC, Vice President of Operations
The Power of Joy

The power of experience is not lost to us, and that is why our team strives to plan and design events that bring your attendees together with your organization. Connection is what events are all about. Creating a lasting bond between your brand and your audience while incorporating surprise and delight is essential to every program’s success. Joy is truly at the center of what we do, and Bishop-McCann focuses on the factors that spark connections and produce smiles.”—Rob Adams, President & CEO
