Mainstage Recap – Accruent Insights 2025

For our team, the mainstage is where months of planning finally come to life. Every light, mic check, and seat in the room represents hours of coordination, all so people can come together and share real conversations that matter.

This year’s sessions were honest and practical, teams sharing what’s worked, what hasn’t, and how they’re adapting. Seeing those moments of connection, when someone nods in recognition or scribbles down an idea, is what makes all the behind-the-scenes work worth it.

We’re proud to help create the space where those exchanges happen, because that’s what event management is all about.

Branding sets the stage for every great event.
At RNA, we believe that the moment attendees walk through the door, they should immediately feel the story we’re telling.

From the tone and mood to the message and meaning, every detail of our branding is intentionally crafted to guide the experience—capturing attention, sparking connection, and creating a memorable atmosphere that lasts long after the event ends.

Our work goes beyond visuals; it’s about shaping emotion, energy, and engagement.
Here are a few of our favorite moments where that vision truly came to life.

INTELEC 2025: Event Recap from the Manager’s Desk

Delivering the 42nd Annual IEEE INTELEC at the University of Houston Student Center was a unique and rewarding challenge. Coordinating a global technical conference within an
academic setting brought its share of learning moments and ultimately, a very
successful outcome.

Challenges Along the Way
As with any large-scale event, there were hurdles to navigate. Late
registrations created additional complexity in seating, catering counts, and
printed materials. The venue’s student-run operations introduced new dynamics
requiring extra coordination and adaptability to align with university
schedules, policies, and resources. Communication with in-house vendors,
including catering and AV, moved at a slower pace than typical corporate
venues, demanding more proactive follow-up and on-the-ground problem-solving.

Despite these challenges, our team stayed flexible and solutions-focused. We
made strategic adjustments to the program layout and logistics to ensure the
event remained within budget without sacrificing attendee experience or
quality.

Successes and Highlights
The result was a smooth and engaging conference that brought together
international experts, industry leaders, and students to discuss the latest in
energy systems, particularly for data centers. Attendance was stronger than anticipated,
sessions ran on schedule, and both the technical committee and attendees left
satisfied with the quality of content and ex*****on.

A special thank you to Dr. Harish Krishnamoorthy for his leadership,
collaboration, and tireless efforts throughout the planning process, and to
Allison for her coordination and commitment behind the scenes. Their
partnership and dedication were instrumental in delivering a successful INTELEC
2025.

While it wasn’t the easiest venue, it was a meaningful experience — one that demonstrated
the value of adaptability, teamwork, and strong relationships in producing
exceptional conferences, even under challenging conditions.

What spooks you out about your business?

Is it missed deadlines? A surprise tech fail mid-event? That one contract you swore you sent but… didn’t? We’ve all been haunted by those “uh-oh” moments.

At RNA Associates, we don’t fear the unknown—we prepare for it. From tight timelines to last-minute pivots, we’ve built our reputation on staying calm, creative, and very caffeinated.

Because real excellence isn’t about avoiding the scary stuff—it’s about meeting it head-on with a plan, a backup plan, and a team that’s ready for anything.

So tell us… what’s your biggest business fright?

How do we celebrate birthdays at RNA Associates? With intention, heart, and a little fun—just like everything else we do!

Even in a remote setting, we believe team milestones matter. Birthdays are more than just cake (though we love that too)—they’re a chance to pause, appreciate, and celebrate the people who make our work meaningful.

Thoughtful shoutouts
Handwritten notes or surprise gifts
Optional virtual cake & coffee hangouts
A whole lot of love from the team

No one should feel like "just another Zoom square" on their birthday. At RNA, we make sure our people feel seen and celebrated—because every person matters.

How do you travel well with a remote team? It’s one thing to work seamlessly from different corners of the map—but bringing everyone together in person takes intentional planning and thoughtful ex*****on.

At RNA Associates, we know that remote flexibility and in-person connection can go hand in hand when done right. Whether it’s for a conference, client event, or team retreat, here’s what makes the difference:

Clear expectations—before, during, and after travel
Smart scheduling that respects energy and bandwidth
Space for team bonding (not just back-to-back meetings)
A focus on shared purpose, not just logistics

Traveling with a remote team should reinforce culture, build trust, and elevate the work—not exhaust your people. With the right approach, it can be a powerful tool for connection and growth.

External deadlines can drive momentum—or derail progress if you’re not ready.

At RNA Associates, we believe that meeting deadlines isn’t just about hustle—it’s about preparation, pacing, and a team that’s set up for success.

Trying to meet tight timelines with an overstretched team leads to burnout, mistakes, and missed opportunities. Instead, we focus on building a foundation that makes deadlines feel manageable, not chaotic.

-Plan early and often
-Break projects into achievable milestones
-Communicate clearly and consistently
-Keep your team supported and well-resourced
-Meeting deadlines is possible—and sustainable—when you prioritize people, process, and purpose.
