Event staffing & team building
in Evanston.
Evanston is the North Shore's university-and-corporate anchor — Northwestern University drives a year-round calendar of fundraising galas, partnership events, and Welsh-Ryan Arena / Ryan Field game-day brand work, plus the downtown Evanston / Sherman Avenue corridor hosts a real retail and dining event run. We staff registration and check-in for Northwestern alumni and fundraising events, sponsor-zone activations at Welsh-Ryan Arena and Ryan Field, brand ambassadors for downtown Evanston retail launches, and hospitality crews for Hilton Orrington and Hyatt Place offsites. Roster is bilingual EN/ES with strong polish — comfortable with university-affiliated and gala clientele. All staff are 100% W-2.

Questions buyers ask us about Evanston.
Can you staff Northwestern University events?+
Yes — Northwestern fundraising galas, alumni events, partnership programming, and Welsh-Ryan / Ryan Field game-day activations are routine. Captains coordinate with Northwestern Event Management on load-in logistics and campus policies.
Can you handle cold-weather Evanston activations?+
