Fiona Nieman exemplifies professional excellence and unparalleled talent. When our church faced the daunting task of postponing a major convention (twice) due to the pandemic, Fiona adeptly restructured numerous arrangements and contracts, securing over a million dollars in savings. Her strategic thinking, diligent work ethic, and compassionate approach are truly remarkable.

Being in the Audio-Visual Production industry, I work with many internal and external meeting planners on event projects large and small. I can confidently say that Fiona is one of the most organized planners that I have worked with. The organization and communication throughout the planning process and while onsite is impeccable. Her outstanding communication and organization make it clear and concise for everyone to stay on track and be accountable for their part of the event. I would recommend Fiona to any organization that is looking for meeting planning services.

I have had the joy of working with Fiona for years, and was consistently impressed with her level of organization. With the many moving parts of planning a citywide convention, Fiona always maintained a meticulously organized binder and detailed spreadsheets, ensuring that nothing was overlooked. Her professionalism, extensive knowledge and calm under pressure made the entire process feel effortless.

I had the pleasure of working with Fiona during her tenure as Meeting Planner for the World Alliance for Retail Excellence & Standards. During that time, Fiona was instrumental in planning and executing three major conferences for the association. From sponsorship and exhibit sales to speaker and logistics management, her exceptional organizational skills and attention to detail were vital in ensuring the seamless execution of these events. Fiona brought a collaborative and strategic approach to everything she did, and her professionalism and dedication to excellence are unmatched.
