What Impact Events does

Impact Events (legal name Impact! Events) is a privately held, woman-owned, full-service event planning company headquartered in Wenatchee, Washington. Founded in 1996 by Kelley Kennedy, a former Microsoft professional, the firm delivers end-to-end event production across three primary service categories: corporate events (conferences, galas, product launches, team-building), weddings and celebrations, and social gatherings (festivals, fundraisers, community events). Services are scoped on a project basis and include vendor coordination, program management, multi-stage programming, contract management, and on-site execution; notable productions include the Wenatchee Valley Independence Day Celebration (15,000+ attendees) and Microsoft events in Istanbul and Singapore.

The firm operates without any proprietary technology platform, app, or software product; delivery is grounded in human expertise and an established network of service providers. Revenue is generated exclusively through professional service fees on a project basis, with pricing not publicly disclosed and engagement initiated via a website contact form, email, or phone consultation. The go-to-market motion is sales-led and referral-driven, anchored by testimonials from the Mayor of Wenatchee and the former Executive Director of the Wenatchee Valley Chamber of Commerce, with word-of-mouth within the local business community serving as the primary demand-generation channel.

The customer base spans government (City of Wenatchee), enterprise technology (historical Microsoft engagements), nonprofit and community organizations (Wenatchee Valley Chamber of Commerce, Life Choices of Wenatchee, Washington Wine Industry Foundation, Washington Apple Education Foundation, Washington State Trails Coalition, Lighthouse Christian Ministries), and individual wedding/celebration clients. Headcount is in the 1-10 range, the company has no disclosed external funding, no parent company, no subsidiaries, and no M&A or partnership agreements. Geographic footprint is primarily the Pacific Northwest, with historical international delivery capability in the Middle East (Turkey) and Southeast Asia (Singapore).
