“Details, timelines, organization, and professionalism are hallmarks of Dave's work, but his honesty, integrity, and gratitude allow you to easily connect with him. He is always prepared and is able keep the most unruly of projects from falling apart. In fact, if a train derailed and Dave was there, he would probably figure out a way to put it back on (a better) track!”

“Dave has been instrumental in the planning and implementation of several statewide conferences of which I've been associated as a community volunteer. "Thorough" is Dave's middle name, making sure all of the details -- small, large, and in-between -- are handled in the most professional manner. All of us on the organizing committee knew that whatever was delegated to Dave would get done in the most prompt, courteous, and effective manner possible.”

“I have known Dave Ryder
for more years than either of us care to admit. My first contact with
him came when he conducted a seminar on event planning for CDS AZ. I
was immediately struck with the fact that he had this down to a science
and provided valuable insight into the meetings industry. His knowledge
and expertise was refreshing at a time when it seemed to be in short
supply. It was also nice to find someone willing to share that
knowledge with others. I kept all the handouts and have referred back
to them several times over the years. Soon after that, I had the
pleasure of working with him on several events where I was a vendor to
one of his clients. Dave was always on top of everything and no detail
escaped his attention. He is a professional in every sense of the word,
and I enjoy his upbeat personality. He is someone I can highly
recommend from the perspective of a vendor, as I have witnessed his
success and impact on meetings and events for his clients from a unique
vantage point. Working with Dave will be a sure bet for your success.”

is an amazingly creative, high energy person who took all the
pressure off me by taking charge of my logo, advertising, and
marketing. He is always clear about what is best for my
business, yet always lets the final decision be mine. The one
consistently good decision I made during this process was going with
Dave's recommendation every time. I have gotten nothing but
compliments on my new logo, business cards, print ads, and
website. More importantly, I started getting business from the
ads almost immediately. I would highly recommend Dave to
anyone who wants to kick his business to the next level, and I
will continue to call on his expertise as my business grows and evolves.

...We
looked to you for event coordination services and I'm so glad.
Under a tight deadline, your expert assistance was crucial. Your
skill at managing details and your ability to support us throughout
this unfamiliar process were keys to the success. No less
important were your people skills - you guided our department's
planning team with good humor and aplomb, a definite bonus during our
many meetings. You have all the right connections, finding
excellent vendors for every service. This included renting all of
the necessary equipment; coordinating a food caterer and exhibitors;
and managing every issue from security and parking to budget and
marketing. I was especially grateful that due to your superlative
relationship with vendors, you were able to achieve significant cost
savings for us while never sacrificing quality... We knew we were
in capable hands, and the event's success in November... showed this to
be true. We couldn't have pulled off our first Showcase without
your guidance and support. Thank you!

…I
have valued my association with Dave Ryder during the past two years as
…[he] assisted the Arizona Preservation Foundation with the statewide
historic preservation conference. I headed up the conference planning
committee in Tucson this year and worked closely with Dave on every
aspect of the conference. Dave handled virtually all logistics for the
conference which had more than 400 attendees – negotiating with the
hotel, managing the conference website and registration, attending
monthly planning meetings in Tucson, assessing volunteer needs and
managing volunteers, handling crises… Dave has excellent organizational
skills… No question was too big or too small for Dave to answer, and he
maintained complete and accurate records of all important information.
His work with the conference website also provided Arizona Preservation
Foundation with a very professional image and made conference
registration so much easier. I also really appreciate his no-nonsense
personality and way of dealing with people and issues… He always gave
more than 100% in effort. It was always a pleasure dealing with Dave
and his exceptional organizational skills made a significant
contribution to the success of the conference.
Historic Preservation Officer
City of Tucson I
am pleased that my affiliation with Mr. Ryder began in July 2004… From
that point on, Mr. Ryder exhibited a high level of professionalism and
creative abilities to help facilitate the relationship between the
hotel and the client. In short, Mr. Ryder executed his role as “Event
Planner” flawlessly and added value at every step along the way. It
would be a pleasure to work again with clients he represents.

…I cannot begin to explain how
much stress and worry was eliminated from my busy life when I passed
along projects to Dave Ryder… Throughout the development process, I
would check with Dave periodically to see how things were going and
there were never any challenges I needed to address. It was great! …
Travel planning has gone equally well with Dave taking care of all the
little details, big details and thoughtfully planning the [incentive]
trip to match the expectations and budgets of my clients. Again, no
worries!

Dave, I would like to thank you so
much for all of your help in making our two recent Client Advisory
Forums such a huge success. Even though we had a number of changes, you
were always ready, willing and able to ensure that every aspect of our
events went flawlessly. The client and CWT executives couldn’t stop
raving about the fantastic event at the Desert Botanical Garden. They
were blown away! It was without a doubt one of the most spectacular
evening events I have ever seen. Thank you! I also wanted to thank you
(albeit late) for all of your hard work on our Imperial Honors employee
recognition trip. Every aspect of the services you provided was
exceptional – from transfers and tours to the “Star” studded Saturday
evening Gala event. You and your team are a pleasure to work with,
always smiling, always willing to go the extra mile.
