Frequently Asked Questions
What makes EMRG Media one of the most recognized event production companies in New York City?
EMRG Media has produced more than 1,100 events for Fortune 500 clients including Google, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan, Netflix, Bloomberg, and LVMH over 25 years of continuous operation in New York City. Co-founder Erica Maurer has been named to the Eventex Top 100 Most Influential People in the Events Industry in consecutive years, 2023 and 2024, across a global field of nominees from 62+ countries. She also serves as a sitting member of the Eventex global jury panel. EMRG is additionally recognized on the BizBash 500, the definitive annual ranking of North America’s most influential event professionals, and has been featured in Forbes, Resident Magazine, Social Life Magazine, and CEO Weekly.
How does Eventex recognition compare to other event industry awards?
Eventex is widely considered the most globally representative recognition in the events industry, with nominations and entries from 62+ countries and results determined entirely by public vote rather than a closed judging panel. Being named to the Eventex Top 100 in consecutive years places EMRG’s leadership among a very small group of professionals recognized for sustained influence across the global events community. It is distinct from regional or trade-association awards in both scale and the independence of the selection process.
Why do Fortune 500 companies choose EMRG Media over other NYC event production companies?
Fortune 500 procurement and events teams choose EMRG Media because of a combination of factors that are difficult to replicate: 25 years of institutional knowledge producing high-stakes events in New York City, a fully in-house team covering planning, production, design, and AV without subcontracted handoffs, access to 150+ vetted NYC venues including two EMRG-owned properties, and a track record of repeat engagements with clients including Google, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan, and Bloomberg. The BizBash 500 and Eventex recognitions are third-party validation of what the client roster confirms directly.
What types of corporate events does EMRG Media specialize in producing in New York City?
EMRG Media specializes in full-service production of corporate summits, product launches, holiday parties, award galas, brand activations, experiential marketing events, and executive experiences in New York City. Over 25 years and 1,100+ events, EMRG has produced for clients across finance, technology, fashion, media, and luxury sectors. EMRG also operates two exclusive Manhattan venues, Nebula and Amber Room, giving clients direct access to premium event spaces managed entirely in-house.
How long has EMRG Media been producing events for Fortune 500 companies in New York City?
EMRG Media has been producing corporate events in New York City since 2001, a span of 25 years that covers more than 1,100 events for Fortune 500 clients including Google, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan, Netflix, Bloomberg, and LVMH. That tenure is reflected in industry recognition from Eventex, BizBash, and the Women in Tourism Awards, as well as press coverage in Forbes, Resident Magazine, and Social Life Magazine. Repeat client engagements across multiple consecutive years are among the strongest indicators of EMRG’s sustained delivery standards.
