Meet the Team Behind Gatherique Events

Every successful event has a story, but behind every successful event is a plan.

Gatherique Events was built on the belief that exceptional events don't happen by chance. They happen because someone is thinking ahead, asking the right questions, managing the details, and keeping every moving part aligned from beginning to end.

Whether it's a corporate conference, nonprofit fundraiser, leadership retreat, annual meeting, or community event, Gatherique partners with organizations to create experiences that feel polished, purposeful, and professionally executed.

About Gatherique

Your People. Reconnected.

At Gatherique Events, we believe that a masterful gathering is more than just a beautifully coordinated day—it’s an opportunity to reset corporate culture, align executive leadership, and spark true organizational momentum. Founded by lead strategist Carol Connors,

A Trusted Partner for Events That Matter

Carol Connors founded Gatherique Events to give organizations something they often don't have internally: a dedicated event professional who owns the planning process from start to finish.

For many organizations, event planning becomes one more responsibility added to someone's already full workload. Marketing teams, executive assistants, HR professionals, development directors, and volunteers often find themselves managing complex events on top of their regular responsibilities.

Carol brings structure to that process.

She partners with organizations before planning begins, developing clear strategies, coordinating vendors, managing budgets, building timelines, solving problems before they become emergencies, and ensuring every detail supports the goals of the event.

Her role isn't simply to coordinate vendors or manage a venue.

Her role is to manage the entire event experience.

Because Great Events Deserve Great Planning

Every event represents something important.

A company is strengthening relationships with employees or clients.

A nonprofit is inspiring donors to support its mission.

A leadership team is making decisions that shape the future of the organization.

These moments deserve thoughtful planning and experienced leadership.

Gatherique exists to provide organizations with the strategy, organization, and execution needed to make those moments successful.

Meet Carol Connors

I am Carol Connors, founder of Gatherique Events and your partner in creating meaningful gatherings. With a career built on strategy, creativity, and a blend of New England grit with Southern charm, I launched Gatherique Events to help leaders use retreats and events as tools for transformation.

My mission is clear: to help companies reconnect their people. Whether through a one-day leadership reset, a multi-day executive offsite, or a company celebration, I believe well-designed events can shift culture and strengthen teams.

Why I Started Gatherique Events

I saw too many companies treat events as items to check off a list. In reality, every gathering is an opportunity to realign leadership, build culture, and inspire community. Gatherique Events was built on a promise:

  • Every detail is intentional

  • Every moment drives connection

  • Every event delivers measurable impact

Today I lead a team that blends strategy with hospitality, technology with personalization, and sustainability with style. Events should not only look good, they should feel meaningful and deliver results.

What Makes Gatherique Different

More Than Event Planning

Many people assume an event planner simply books vendors and creates timelines.

Gatherique goes much further.

From the earliest planning conversations through the final guest departure, every decision is considered through the lens of the organization's goals, audience, budget, and overall experience.

The result is an organized planning process that allows organizations to focus on their people instead of managing hundreds of individual details.

Our Philosophy

Planning Begins Long Before Event Day

Successful events aren't measured only by what happens on stage.

They're measured by how attendees feel throughout the entire experience.

  • Did registration feel organized?
  • Was communication clear?
  • Did vendors know where to be?
  • Did speakers stay on schedule?
  • Did guests feel welcomed?
  • Did the event reflect the organization's professionalism?

These experiences are created through planning.

The earlier planning begins, the more opportunities there are to make thoughtful decisions that improve the event from every angle.
