Side-by-Side: GEMS vs Mile 80’s University Event Services

When it comes to University Event Services, you want both reliability and creativity. Here’s how Georgetown Event Management Services (GEMS) stacks up against Mile 80’s expert support.

Real-World Example

Last spring, a European university hosted a hybrid alumni gala. They needed:

A dynamic livestream intro.
On-site signage and banners.
A virtual floor plan for remote guests.

GEMS handled the room bookings. But when the team ran out of design hours, they turned to Mile 80.
Result?
– A stunning 60-second animation that opened the livestream.
– Branded banners that matched campus heritage.
– A live floor-plan widget embedded in the event website.

All delivered in 48 hours. No all-nighters on their end. Just seamless support.

Making the Smart Choice

When you compare University Event Services, ask yourself:

Do I need more than basic space reservations?
Will I benefit from 24/7 creative output?
Can I pre-visualise my entire event before the big day?
Do I want a single partner for strategy, design and production?

If the answer is “yes,” Mile 80 has you covered.
