Meet the Meeting Planners

Sunday, February 5, 2006 by Richard Nichols

In the photo below, you see our friend Ms. Kaaren McNulty with Mr. John Patton. Kaaren and John are icons within the meeting planning spectrum of the corporate world here in Atlanta. Kaaren has been a client and friend of ours since 1989. In May of 2005, she married Mr. Dave Ehlert of Atlanta in a beautiful chapel at Callaway Gardens near Columbus, Georgia. Dave is the president of The Idea Exchange, Inc., a company that conducts Customer Satisfaction Surveys and Market Research nationwide. Dave has become a good friend to us since the first day we met.

Kaaren and John
Kaaren and John successfully created, managed, produced and directed a 14,000 person meeting in Las Vegas for NAPA recently. Here we find them in celebration mode, inside one of the hoops they had to jump through. The meeting planning business can surely put people through some changes . . .

Kaaren McNulty is the Director of Marketing Services for NAPA (National Automotive Parts Association). NAPA is headquartered here in Atlanta.

John Patton is one of the principals at Atlanta-based Event Architecture, Inc. He is a CMP (Certified Meeting Planner) with many years of experience in producing shows, concerts and events.
