Volume Eventz

What Volume Eventz does

Volume Eventz is a privately held, women-owned (WBENC-certified) corporate event planning and production company founded in 2007 by Rae Nicks and headquartered in the Chicago metropolitan area. The firm provides end-to-end event production services for enterprise clients, including event design and technical production, creative direction, venue sourcing and contract negotiation, specialty entertainment and celebrity booking, video production, graphic design, drone videography, and on-site event management. Its core client base consists of large corporations and select nonprofits across multiple verticals—food & beverage (Wendy's, Beltone), technology (SAP), telecommunications (Verizon Wireless), retail/automotive (Speedway), healthcare/nonprofit (American Cancer Society), and trade shows (Independent Garden Show)—with reported average client tenure of approximately 12 years.

The underlying operating model is services-based rather than technology-based: there is no proprietary software platform, mobile application, public API, or disclosed AI capability. Service delivery is anchored by a six-person core team (the founder plus five producers/managers with prior in-house corporate event experience at companies such as Wendy's, United Airlines, and Kraft Foods) and a network of freelance production professionals and equipment vendors built over 25+ years. Marketing and go-to-market is entirely relationship-driven and referral-based, with no social media presence or paid marketing channels; the website is a Squarespace portfolio site.

The revenue model is project-based fees, with custom quotes per event scope and no public pricing or rate card. The firm maintains service coverage in five US markets—Chicago, New York, Columbus, Las Vegas, and Orlando—corresponding to major enterprise event destinations. Volume Eventz has no external funding, no parent company, no disclosed revenue, and no plans indicated for platform expansion or capital deployment.
