We look forward to the future of Eaton Hall within our growing network and are committed to building on the legacy that Scott Goldman and his team have established."

Scott Goldman, founder of Eaton Hall, shared:

"Our goal has always been to create events that our customers love to be part of, because the events are targeted, productive, and truly welcoming for the unique niches of people we serve. Clarion, whose leaders I've known personally for over ten years, shares our commitment to 'hugging our customers.' Without changing that passion but adding new resources and knowledge, our client-focused team can do even more to serve our guests. We'll make sure that our clients continue to call the Forums "their favorite event of them all!"

Clarion Connect, led by Kelly Comboni, President of Quartz Network, Consero Events, LeftField Media, and now Eaton Hall, represents a powerhouse of innovation and scale in the 1-to-1 event space.
