Corinthian Events

What Corinthian Events does

Corinthian Events is a boutique, full-service event management agency headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts, with a secondary office in Newport, Rhode Island. Founded in 2000 and led by founder and CEO Courtney Church, the company delivers end-to-end event planning, destination management, and production services for corporate, nonprofit, and social clients primarily across the New England region. Its service portfolio is organized around three core pillars (Destination Management, Meetings & Conferences, and Special Events & Gatherings) supported by modular capabilities in creative and branding, production and AV, registration and technology, strategy and design, and logistics and operations. The agency is not a technology platform; its technical capabilities center on event registration systems, custom app builds, AV production management, and flight pattern and manifest tracking, with no disclosed AI/ML or proprietary software products.

The company generates revenue through professional services fees on a custom-quoted, project-based pricing model, with multi-year contracts observed in its client base. It sells exclusively through direct enterprise engagement, leveraging industry association memberships (DMC Network, MPI, PCMA) and destination marketing partnerships (Meet Boston, Discover Newport, GoProvidence) for credibility and referrals. Its named client roster spans management consulting (BCG, Bain & Company), financial services (KPMG, private equity and investment management firms), education (MIT), healthcare and pharmaceuticals (Servier), technology (Bullhorn), media (Forbes), and nonprofit organizations (Big Brothers Big Sisters of Eastern MA, The Ireland Funds Boston, Team IMPACT). Execution scale ranges from intimate gatherings to events exceeding 5,500 guests, with demonstrated deployment of 40+ staff for large client programs.

Corinthian Events expanded its geographic footprint in 2020 via the acquisition of Newport Hospitality and has since formalized coverage across five New England destinations. The company has positioned for the FIFA World Cup 2026 through a dedicated sub-brand (New England World Soccer 2026). There are no disclosed funding rounds, no parent company, no institutional investors, and no public financial filings; the firm operates as an independent private corporation. Its competitive positioning rests on 25+ years of local expertise, strong regional venue and vendor relationships, and a reputation for high-touch execution rather than on proprietary technology or scale advantages.
