It’s always rewarding to receive the accolades of one’s peers, so we’re particularly proud that Conventures has received many prestigious commendations from within our industry. The “Silver Anvil Award” from the Public Relations Society of America, the “Special Event of the Year Award” from the International Special Events Society, the “Lifetime Achievement Award” and numerous “Bellringer” awards from the Publicity Club of New England and “Best of Boston” honors line the shelves of our office.

In addition, both Conventures and founder Dusty Rhodes have been featured by CBS, ABC, PBS, NBC, The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, The New York Post, The Washington Post, People Magazine, The Boston Globe, The Boston Herald and the Boston Business Journal in years past.

As heady as all this may be, our favorite accolades are still the ones we receive from our clients for a job well done. Here are just a few:

"Your team is as good as it gets. They kept us focused, on time and on budget…and did so with their characteristic energy, dedication and passion for their job…and for the company that employs them. This night’s success belongs every bit to them as it does to us."
