What’s your theme? What’s off-limits?
Give us your briefing, and we turn it into art.
A feedback loop is always included: Need revisions, or is it perfect?
It’s that simple: Our poets will attend your event and captivate your audience.
With Poetic Recording, the experience becomes even more direct:
We shadow your conference from start to finish, unobtrusively in the background.
Your participants will scarcely notice us—until the end.
That’s when we perform a poem written live, encapsulating the day’s events.
We might say the awe of your guests at this live effect is priceless.
But it’s not.
