Jandie Turner

Kerri Eng
(
Project Manager // Event Wizard)
Kerri Gartell Eng manages KGEVENTS, a corporate event management company. Ms. Eng has more than 25 years of experience executing special events worldwide. Knowledge, authenticity and innovation are her keys to success. She genuinely listens and then, creates a customized project plan based on overall objectives and goals, not a pre-determined, one-size-fits-all plan. The goal is to create a memorable, impactful experience for the attendee. She applies relentless time, effort and positive energy executing the overall vision. She creates value by earning trust as an industry expert, implementing quantifiable cost savings and providing unyielding customer service. Ms. Eng graduated Cum Laude from the University of Maryland and is an avid Terrapins basketball fan.
Mrs. Turner and Ms. Eng met in the hallway of their children’s pre-school 15 years ago. Mrs. Turner was being fiscally responsible and Ms. Eng was the PTO president, giving back her time and talents for the ultimate benefit of our kids. Mrs. Turner made Ms. Eng give a verbal cost-benefit analysis of spending $15 for her family to join the PTO. We impressed each other from that point forward. After a few years of hallway discussion and banter, the opportunity arose for Mrs. Turner and Ms. Eng to collaborate and as they say, the rest is history. While we each handle multiple clients and projects separately throughout the year, the bulk of their work-load is a collaborated-shared effort.
