About

Corporate event management, led by Kaitlin Hawthorne

Meidoorn Productions manages trade fair participation and corporate events for companies without a dedicated events team, from the Netherlands and across Europe.

From the founder

Before founding Meidoorn Productions, I worked in B2B marketing. That work included organizing booths and partner events at international trade fairs, as well as corporate roadshows and retreats. It showed me how much preparation sits behind a few days on a show floor or on the road, and how much of a show's value depends on the follow-up afterward.

It also showed me who usually carries that preparation: a marketing manager, an office manager, an executive assistant, or a founder, fitting supplier calls and organizer deadlines around a full-time job. Meidoorn Productions gives those companies an experienced event manager who takes responsibility for the event, coordinates the suppliers, manages delivery, and makes sure the follow-up happens.

Selected experience

Events I've organized

From previous in-house roles: international trade fairs, a European partner event, roadshows, and retreats.

Monaco Yacht Show · Monaco

A booth and a partner event on board a vessel

I organized a company's booth at the show, along with a partner event held on board a vessel, with acrobats brought in from Mexico. Bringing it together took close coordination between many different companies.

Reseller partner event · Amsterdam

200 resellers from across Europe

A partner event we organized for our reseller network, held at Microsoft's Amsterdam office and bringing together 200 resellers from all over Europe.

Ambiente · Frankfurt

Two booths in the same hall

We exhibited with two separate booths in one hall. During the show, almost everyone on the team fell ill. I adapted and kept the show on track.

Spoga+Gafa · Cologne

A first-time exhibitor

Our first time exhibiting at Spoga+Gafa, with a booth of our own. That meant getting to grips with a new show's requirements, deadlines, and suppliers from the start.

Solar Solutions Amsterdam · Netherlands

Exhibiting at a Dutch trade fair

A booth at Solar Solutions Amsterdam, the Dutch trade fair for the solar energy industry.

Roadshows & retreats

Corporate roadshows and retreats

Multi-city roadshows for business audiences and retreats that brought colleagues together.
