Summer is the busiest stretch of the event calendar — FIFA, F1 Canada, Wimbledon, The Open, plus a stack of corporate conferences. If you’re already deep in calendar Tetris, our team can take ground transportation off the list across all of it: multi-vehicle, multi-city, single point of contact. Want me to send you the playbook we use for clients running 5+ events this summer?

The single biggest hospitality story of the summer. Full host-city playbook is live — group movement, multi-city, executive hospitality.

The World Cup is in 16 cities across three countries over five weeks — if your client is hosting sponsors, moving execs, or running hospitality at any of them, the ground transportation puzzle is non-trivial. We’re already running coordinated programs in 9 host cities. Want a quick read on how we structure cross-city group movement for a multi-match itinerary?

Formula 1 Canadian Grand Prix

Montreal, QC · Sporting Event · Cross-border

Cross-border weekend. Heavy corporate hospitality and exec travel from US clients. We’ve run Montreal for years.

For
EP, FD, EA
Talking point
F1 Canada brings a wave of US execs into Montreal, and the cross-border piece is where most ground programs fall over — customs timing, multi-vehicle convoys, and local language coordination. We’ve operated this race for years and can pre-build the Friday-through-Sunday itinerary so your client’s team isn’t problem-solving on race weekend. Worth 10 minutes?

Money20/20 Europe

Amsterdam, Netherlands · Conference · Fintech

Major fintech gathering. 10K+ attendees, scattered across the RAI, central Amsterdam hotels, and after-hours venues.

For
EP, EA, FD
Talking point
Money20/20 Europe is in Amsterdam this year and the geometry of the conference — RAI venue, dispersed hotel inventory, late-running networking events — means most attendees end up using a patchwork of car services. We coordinate end-to-end programs for several enterprise fintech clients during the show. Want me to walk you through how we structure it?

U.S. Open Championship

Shinnecock Hills, NY · Sporting Event · Hamptons / NYC metro

Hamptons logistics are unforgiving — single roads in, helicopter transfers, and zero parking. Pre-coordination is the difference.

For
EP, FD, S, EA
Talking point
The U.S. Open at Shinnecock is the hardest ground-transportation week of the year on the East End — single road in, no parking, and helicopter transfers from East Hampton timed to tee-times. We pre-stage vehicles and run coordinated convoys for several clients hosting at the Open every year. Want me to send the trip framework so you can pitch it to your accounts?

UHNW collector weekend. Fresh content shipped — use the Basel + Zurich + Zürich Airport playbook.

For
EA, FD, S
Talking point
Art Basel runs June 18–21 and most clients fly into Zürich, not Basel — which means a 90-minute ground leg before the fair even starts, plus discreet movement around private viewings, gallery dinners, and after-parties. We run the full Zürich-Basel-Zürich loop for principals attending every year. If you have collectors or gallerists in your book, happy to share the trip framework.
