Word of Mouth
We've worked more corporate events than I can count. The ones Jane runs are the ones our team always remembers — every detail dialed, every timing landing, every vendor treated like a partner. Contenta is the rare studio that makes small businesses look bigger and big businesses feel human.
Necati Atahan CEO · ICE POPS
Jane saw a story in San Diego Honey Company before we'd told it ourselves, then built an evening around it that brought guests right inside our world. Months later, customers are still bringing up that night unprompted. That's the kind of impact you can't manufacture — you have to feel it.
Rachel Adams Founder · San Diego Honey Company
One of the best decisions I have ever made was to hire Jane to manage our largest and most complex annual program, as well as multiple North American speaking tours for several years. Highly organized, an extensive network of vendors, fresh creative insights, and solid communication that engages executives, marketing, sales, vendors, and customers alike.
Shari Jongejan Tradeshow & Event Manager · SCIEX
Contenta delivered an exceptional experience from start to finish in planning our National Sales Meeting and Circle of Excellence trip. The entire process was seamless — highly organized, thoughtfully planned, and executed with confidence and precision. Every detail, both big and small, was handled with true white-glove service.
Soleno Therapeutics Executive Manager
From the kickoff meeting to the last customer out the door and cleanup, they are the ultimate professionals. We fully appreciated the creative suggestions, activation ideas, and their complete ownership of vendor interactions — the ability to work at scale for complex events while providing personal touches that make everybody smile.
Invivoscribe Sr. Director, Product Management & Commercialization
Neil truly is an expert in his craft and his experience showed through in every interaction. He was always timely with his responses, present on the floor, and jumped in to lend a hand when he didn't need to. Emma carried herself with professionalism and grace — together they made a multi-day conference run from start to end.
Le Méridien Denver Downtown Assistant Director of Events
I had the pleasure of working with Jane & the Contenta team for our Global Commercial Meeting, events around our various scientific conferences, and our Investor Day. I was extremely impressed with their professionalism, attention to detail, and creative approach to event planning. During the event is when the team truly shines.
Pacific Biosciences VP Business Operations & Chief of Staff
Jane & her team deeply understand the culture of our company and tailored every part of our meeting to fit that culture and achieve the experience I wanted each attendee to have during the meeting. No detail is too small for Contenta — the “little things” they did for each attendee made it that much more memorable.
Pacific Biosciences Chief Commercial Officer
I first met Jane when we hired her to support one of our most important events of the year. Upon arriving at the event and meeting Jane, it was immediately clear that Jane was a leader. She led other members of our team naturally, was engaging, and a source of confidence for our c-suite clients.
Modev Events Founder
We used the Contenta team to help organize our first Investor Day. The team exceeded my expectations and made every step of the planning and logistics process seamless so that I could focus on bringing together the content. Highly recommend for anybody planning a corporate event.
Pacific Biosciences Senior Director, Investor Relations
I've worked with Jane for over five years and I can't speak highly enough about her. She is creative, hyper-organized, a whiz with contracts, a genius at thinking outside the box to create impactful agenda sessions, and an all-around awesome human being. She is a phenomenal asset to the organizations she partners with.
