About Selvis Morales

I’ve been an event planner and experiential strategist serving corporate and nonprofit clients for over a decade, having planned everything from association business meetings to VIP receptions to trade shows. My career as an events professional has taken me around the globe and I love each and every second of it because it's one of the few jobs where being nit-picky pays off. I have worked with Professional Conference Organizers (PCOs) and third-party Destination Management Companies (DMCs) serving as the business event's client liaison to streamline project management and reduce headaches. It’s safe to say, it takes a lot to catch me off my game.

What Makes Devil's in the Details Special?

Devil’s in the Details spends every planning moment thinking of bold and innovative ways our clients can carry out their corporate or nonprofit events with a fresh perspective. As your event planner, Selvis Morales, CMP dares to dream big so your business events can embrace risk with little to no hesitation. Devil’s in the Details is not afraid of the unconventional and neither are our clients.

Make Your Business Events Shine

  • Focus on Data, Strategy, ROIs and KPIs: Our event planner will sit down with corporate and nonprofit clients to map out their business event's goals with realistic objectives, KPI benchmarks and measurable ROI. Every idea has to be backed by realistic expectations.
     
  • Budget Diva: Every penny counts. That's why our event planner excels in delivering high-impact corporate and nonprofit events on or below client budgets. Just because your business event needs to be thrifty, doesn’t mean you need to sacrifice your wow-factor.
     
  • Keeping It Local: Devil’s in the Details is constantly searching for new and established local event businesses to bring the best Chicago has to offer to our clients.
     
  • It’s Not Easy Being Green: As an event planner, our founder strives to find creative ways for your business events to take steps towards greener pastures. Using a green meeting calculator to generate reports, Devil’s in the Details shows clients their carbon footprint metrics post-event.
     
  • Embracing the Unconventional: Devil’s in the Details stays on trend with event design innovations so our corporate and nonprofit clients can rest easy knowing that going stale will never be an issue.
     
  • Hand-holding: We get it. Planning events is a daunting task so Devil's in the Details makes sure to keep open communications with our clients so you'll never be left in the dark.
