For 2026, Best of Best Review recognizes RGI Events as Best Event Production Company in the USA of 2026, honoring the company’s distinctive combination of strategic thinking, sophisticated design, detailed production and client focused execution.

Founded by Principal and Creative Director Rachael Glaws in 2007, RGI Events has developed a reputation for creating highly curated experiences where every detail serves a purpose. The company’s work demonstrates that beautiful design and serious strategic thinking can exist within the same event.

From Vision to Experience

Rachael Glaws launched RGI Events with a clear vision: to create a mission-first events firm grounded in strategy, flawless logistics and thoughtful design.

RGI Events describes its work as a 360-degree strategic service around the world, connecting organizations and audiences through shared experiences. Its approach combines production expertise, design and strategic planning.

The company begins by understanding what an organization needs an event to accomplish, then builds the experience around that objective.

Where Strategy Meets Design

An RGI event is designed to accomplish something while creating a memorable experience.

The company’s production philosophy centers on seamless logistics and close attention to each client’s needs. Its design philosophy focuses on visual impact, thoughtful details and experiences that energize audiences.

Glaws explains the philosophy simply: “You have to deeply love this work to make the type of impact our projects make for our clients. We’re fueled by that passion, innovative, extraordinarily attentive to detail and true to objectives.”

Experience Built Around Organizational Goals

Strategy remains central to RGI Events’ work. Glaws describes the company’s focus as understanding the goals behind an event, whether an organization is seeking to raise funds, gain market share, galvanize teams or inspire a community.

That perspective influences planning throughout. RGI Events considers how each decision contributes to the broader experience and client objectives.

The company has worked with organizations and brands including the American Red Cross, Dior, the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, SpaceX, Hewlett Packard and the National Cherry Blossom Festival. RGI Events reports producing over 100 events annually.

Sophisticated Production With Attention to Detail

Large-scale events can contain hundreds of moving pieces. Venues, vendors, schedules, technology, materials, speakers, guests and production teams must work together without distracting from the experience.

LOINC described RGI Events as critical in reshaping an annual event while navigating venue communication problems and rising costs. SJI praised the company’s coordination across the country, including venue management, materials, run of show and planning.

Responsive Collaboration

RGI Events places emphasis on listening. Glaws says she values listening because people who feel heard are more likely to develop trust, emotional investment and pride in the final result.

Society for Women’s Health Research praised RGI Events for responsiveness, technical knowledge and ability to meet goals. Insight Policy Research highlighted the company’s guidance through a conference on a tight timeline.

Adaptability Without Losing the Vision

Modern events often require rapid adaptation. One corporate client shared that Glaws and her team stepped in with only a few weeks to execute an event after a last-minute request. Despite the compressed timeline, the team helped bring the client’s vision to life.

That ability to adapt while maintaining a consistent standard is relevant as organizations respond to changing audiences, evolving technology and compressed planning windows.

A Track Record of Recognition

RGI Events and Glaws have received recognition across the special events industry. RGI Events was named among the Top 10 Event Management Solutions Providers by Martech Outlook in 2023, while Glaws was recognized by BizBash Magazine among its Top 100 People in Special Events in 2022.

Hospitality at the Center

For RGI Events, hospitality is not an afterthought. The company describes hospitality as the heart of its work.

The DCJCC praised RGI Events for responsiveness and flexibility, reinforcing the company’s focus on thoughtful client service and guest experience throughout projects.

A Philosophy Built on Excellence

RGI Events identifies four principles that shape its approach: innovation, excellence, hospitality and strategy.

Innovation means finding fresh ways to present content and engage audiences. Excellence means maintaining high standards regardless of project size. Hospitality keeps the guest experience at the center of decision-making. Strategy means understanding that an event is often a tool for reaching a larger organizational objective.

Together, these principles bring discipline to galas, conferences, corporate experiences, nonprofit gatherings and major public events while creating something distinct for each client.
