Rachael Glaws Named to BizBash's Top 500 Event Professionals 2020!

For the second year in a row Principal and Founder of RGI events – Rachael Glaws – has been named to The BizBash 500 Most Influential Event Professionals list for 2020. This annual feature is compiled from the meeting and event industry’s “trailblazers, trendsetters, and up-and-comers”. The list spans every section of the industry – from catering and entertainment, to audiovisual & lighting design and event technology – and honors designers, creators, producers, executives, and managers for their visionary work.

Rachael is listed among the top Special Event Consultants and, as BizBash puts it, “as the industry’s multitaskers, these noteworthy namesakes can do it all, from production to event marketing to brand strategies and more.”

The BizBash 500 is one of the industry’s most prestigious accolades and Rachael has been a consistent feature of the list because of RGI’s commitment to pushing the boundaries on what’s possible.  The ability to anticipate client’s needs, creativity to work within any budget, and extensive experience spanning over a decade is how RGI consistently exceeds clients’ goals. And as the events industry navigates this tumultuous year, Rachael has proven to be a pioneer in producing cutting-edge virtual experiences for corporate, policy, and non-profit clients. 

In her own words, here a snapshot of what Rachael loves about working in this industry:

The most memorable event I've produced was... The Atlantic Council's Gala at the Plaza honoring Aung San Suu Kyi, the Burmese activist and Nobel Peace Prize laureate on her first trip after release from her 15 year house arrest - once in a lifetime moment.

One thing I love most about my job is... Being a meaningful part of our client's missions to inspire, educate and create change in our world.

My favorite event to attend is/was... Ball for the Mall, Washington DC, it's not my party, but it's always a blast!

My signature touch/style is... Hanging installations from the ceiling! “How many rig points” is likely the first question you'll hear me ask when walking through a venue.

My go-to decor for a wow-factor is... ANYTHING oversized! If you are going for impact, MAKE IT BIG!

Rachael is honored and humbled to be featured among industry giants and RGI is excited to keep making memorable experiences for our 2020 and 2021 clients! Stay tuned for an event we are particularly excited about next spring: Steve Harvey’s Vault Empowers Summit 2021. This annual conference will pack together two days of networking and professional development at The Anthem, one of D.C.’s largest live event venues. We have big design dreams for Vault Empower and we can’t wait to watch them come to fruition!
