The Curators of Purpose-Driven Events
Fueled Events is a Chicago event agency specializing in conferences and incentive events. Founder Tionna Van Gundy, CSEP, brings nearly 15 years in event production, and we bring a service-first approach from Chicago to the global stage. From educational conferences and summits, leadership retreats, brand activations to fundraisers, corporate incentives and company milestone celebrations; we manage every detail to ensure your event leaves a lasting impression, with your message - amplified.
The Fueled Approach
Our firm, Your Event. Full ownership of scope, strategy, design, production and delivery. From budget building and strategic planning through setup and strike. 250 to 2,000+ attendees, single-day, multi-day and abroad.
Your flagship event is high-stakes and publicly visible. We take the whole thing. Your team already has a full-time job - let us deliver the event experience you want for your attendees and staff and let your team focus on their expertise.
Strategically planned. Scope, budget, and event design - The “Why” before anything gets booked. What the event is for, what it should cost, and what it has to be to be worth traveling for.
​
Properly produced. Venue sourcing, permitting, and risk evaluation. Vendor and equipment procurement. Sponsorship integration. Event marketing design and brand implementation.
​
Executed end to end. On-site staffing, third-party vendor management, compliance oversight, setup, strike and logistics. One firm accountable from the first call to the last truck out.
Not extra hands on someone else's plan. Full ownership of event scope, strategy, design, production and delivery. Your team focused on what they do best.
