The Synergy Collaborative
Better Together.
Synergy Collaborative was created on a simple belief:
When good people collaborate, everyone has a better opportunity to succeed.
Our mission is to connect Minnesota’s meetings, events, and experiences community by creating meaningful relationships, increasing visibility, and encouraging collaboration instead of competition.
Whether you’re an event planner, meeting professional, venue, caterer, entertainer, speaker, photographer, audiovisual company, decorator, transportation provider, or another event industry professional, Synergy Collaborative is designed to help you expand your network and discover new opportunities.
Why We Exist
Many professionals spend countless hours trying to attract new clients, build relationships, and stay visible in an increasingly crowded marketplace.
We believe there’s a better way.
By bringing together people who serve the same industry, we create an environment where introductions happen naturally, partnerships develop, ideas are shared, and everyone benefits from a stronger community.
Our goal isn’t simply to build another website.
Our goal is to build a collaborative ecosystem where members help one another grow.
What We Do
Synergy Collaborative helps members increase their visibility and strengthen their professional relationships through resources such as:
- Featured Member Spotlights (Synergy Showcase)
- Educational Articles and Industry Insights
- Networking Events and Meetups
- Interviews and Community Stories (Synergy Cafe)
- Company Member Event Promotion
- Strategic Introductions and Alliances
- Shared Marketing Opportunities
- Community Resources and Connections
As the community grows, so will the opportunities available to every member.
Our Philosophy
We believe…
- Collaboration is more powerful than competition.
- Relationships create opportunity.
- Visibility leads to growth.
- Generosity builds trust.
- Together we accomplish more than we ever could alone.
That’s the power of synergy.
Our Vision
We envision a thriving community where Minnesota’s Event Professionals are connected, supported, and recognized for the value they bring to meetings, conferences, trade shows, social events, concerts, festivals, fundraisers, retreats, celebrations and our community throughout the region.
By helping members become more visible and more connected, we believe we can help create more opportunities for everyone.
