If we had to sum up our role at the Bentonville Film Festival from 2015-2019, the movie title 'Planes, Trains & Automobiles' would nail it brilliantly.
Our team managed every detail of the guest experience, from start to finish. Each year, we carefully coordinated travel for over 200 celebrities, sponsors, filmmakers, distinguished guests, and staff. We also produced several exclusive events throughout the Festival week, ensuring every guest had a holistic, seamless experience.
