Hudson Event Group

What Hudson Event Group does

Hudson Event Group LLC is a privately-held, full-service meeting and event management company headquartered in Westfield, New Jersey. The firm provides end-to-end event planning and execution services for enterprise clients, including site selection, budget and financial management, on-site staffing and management, hotel and venue contract negotiations, exhibit hall floor plan layout and design, food and beverage selection and planning, off-site event planning, registration management, and room block management. Its capabilities, credentials, and client relationships are anchored substantially in CEO and founder Krista Minitelli, who claims 20+ years of industry experience and personal involvement in more than 5,000 events worldwide, ranging from intimate gatherings of 5 attendees to events of up to 10,000, across seminars, conferences, trade shows, exhibit halls, and executive board meetings.

The company targets corporate clients across four primary verticals: financial services, legal, healthcare and pharmaceuticals, and marketing. Pricing is quote-based and project-driven, with billing structured around multi-year contracts; revenue is generated through professional services fees tied to event scope, size, and complexity. Go-to-market is consultative enterprise field sales with no disclosed marketing automation, channel partners, or distribution alliances, leveraging direct outreach through the company website, email ([email protected]), and phone (908-377-6363). Geographic reach is claimed globally in scope, though the operating footprint is anchored by a single Westfield, NJ headquarters.

The firm operates with 1-10 employees, no disclosed proprietary technology, and no platform or AI/ML infrastructure (core technology listed as 'Not disclosed'). The company is founder-owned with no institutional investors, no funding rounds, no disclosed M&A activity, and no public-facing social media presence. Operating status is active, with a copyright notice extending to 2026.
