PARTIAL LIST OF CLIENTS WE HAVE WORKED WITH OVER THE YEARS.
IF YOUR NAME IS NOT HERE, WE HOPE TO ADD IT SOON.

“Linle’s unique strength is her ability to understand your corporate culture, quickly identify the branding opportunities of a corporate event and expertly execute an outstanding production. She and her team envision, budget, build and produce memorable events which translate into strengthening and solidifying key relationships.”

Bill Miller, Makena Capital "Linle and her staff at LJF Events have worked hand in hand with me at Citizens, and previously JMP Securities, for over two decades. In my experience both as a corporate access professional and as the former head of investor relations for a publicly traded company, I have not come across another group as knowledgeable and capable with regard to the execution of Wall Street conferences. The level of professionalism and poise consistently demonstrated by everyone at LJF is unmatched, and I trust their judgment and attention to detail completely. They provide a comprehensive outsourced solution for the production of top-tier corporate events, from large and complex to intimate and small, and the impression left on both corporate and institutional clients is always exceedingly favorable. I simply cannot recommend Linle and her team more highly. They are second to none."

Andrew Palmer, Head of Corporate Access, Citizens JMP "Linle and LJF Events are an extraordinary event company. She and her team run a very tight ship and demonstrate meticulous attention to detail, leaving no stone unturned to produce a successful event. Perhaps even more importantly, Linle takes the time to understand your organization's strategic goals and to tailor a solution that uniquely helps to support and achieve those goals. Top that with her vision and creative flair, and you have a rare combo that is hard to find even in today's competitive market!”

Virginia Cartwright Ziegler, Global Marketing & Communications, Technology Products & Services at Accenture “I can speak for all of us at Lazard when I say that you exceeded our expectations. You handled all the twists and turns with grace.  We appreciated your professionalism and your expertise throughout the process and we are very grateful. Every piece of feedback that we got on the conference was glowing praise. So much of it belongs to you!”

Alexander Lim, Lazard "Linle has a deep knowledge about the event and hospitality industries, but also about the Tech and Silicon Valley ecosystem. She understands what is expected from the event experiences and she helps you strategize and formulate a plan that delights both stakeholders and forum participants.

Specifically, Linle helped me scale our annual marquee event from 80 attendees to 350+, managing the creation and production of a unique venue, multiple concurrent sessions over two full days, supervised private one-on-one meetings and engaged celebrity chefs for evening events along with exclusive entertainment. Each year improved and built upon the previous year’s success. Most importantly, LJF Events, helped to establish the event as a brand in itself.

Working with Linle and her team has been a wonderful experience. During times of high-stakes and high-pressure, I feel a sense of relief that I have her in my court. I not only trust Linle and her team, but also enjoy spending time with them."
