Oxford, Mississippi · Serving clients nationally
Corporate Events • Conferences • Executive Meetings • Private Celebrations
BHT Event Planning creates and executes elevated corporate events, conferences, executive experiences and private celebrations—from the first idea to the final guest departure.
You experience the event. We manage everything else.
A boutique full-service firm working across two practices — corporate and association programs, and private celebrations.
A multi-day conference and an intimate anniversary dinner get the same planning discipline: one point of contact, a documented plan and budget, and management through the final guest departure.
Conferences, executive meetings, retreats, annual meetings, sponsor and exhibitor programs, and large-scale experiences — planned, budgeted and run end to end.
Milestone birthdays, anniversaries, private dinners, graduations, and themed or destination celebrations, produced with the same discipline as a corporate program.
The Process
You experience the event. We manage everything else.
We start with your objective, audience, budget range and constraints, then define what success looks like before anything is booked.
Concept, program flow, venue options, room layouts and guest experience come together into a plan you can approve with confidence.
Contracts, vendors, budgets, registration, production specs and the Run of Show are assembled into one working document set.
Onsite management, load-in, rehearsals, staff and vendor direction, and real-time problem solving for the length of the program.
Load-out, final billing review, budget reconciliation and a post-event debrief that carries forward into the next program.
Experience
BHT Event Planning is built on 15+ years of event and experience leadership — national conferences, executive programs, exhibitor and sponsor operations, and the budgets and vendor relationships behind them.
The figures below reflect Beth Thompson’s professional experience leading corporate and association events in prior roles. They are not results from events contracted directly through BHT Event Planning.
About Beth
Beth Thompson has spent more than fifteen years leading corporate events, national conferences and experience strategy — work that has included overseeing an annual event portfolio of $1.5M+, producing conferences of 650+ attendees, and managing individual event budgets exceeding $1M.
That experience covers the full operating picture: venue and hotel contracts, registration and attendee data, sponsor and exhibitor programs of up to 90 exhibitors, speaker rosters of 30+, production and AV, and the Run of Show that holds it all together onsite.
She founded BHT Event Planning to bring that same standard to a boutique client list. Her approach is white-glove in both senses of the phrase: hospitality that anticipates what guests need before they ask, paired with execution documented closely enough that nothing depends on memory or luck.
BHT is based in Oxford, Mississippi and works with clients nationally, from single executive meetings to multi-day conferences and destination celebrations.
