Opus Expands Agency with the Acquisition of CRG Events

PORTLAND, Ore., March 6, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Opus Agency, a leading provider of global event experiences, has acquired CRG Events, a highly respected Seattle-based event management agency. CRG's long-time CEO, Leasa Mayer, will serve as Executive Vice President at Opus.

Established in Seattle in 1984, CRG Events is known for comprehensive event management services including event logistics, event registration and onsite management. CRG specializes in corporate conferences, meetings, product launches, roadshows, recognition/reward programs and tradeshow management. CRG clients include the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Microsoft, Columbia Sportswear and Unity.

"CRG's deep event management experience and knowledge, combined with their proven registration services, enables us to give our clients even more of what they love about Opus," stated Monte Wood, CEO of Opus. "Their beautiful office in Seattle provides the geographic presence we have been seeking for Opus," Wood added. "Add to that just how well the companies' cultures align, and it was an easy decision. I'm extremely excited to welcome each and every one of the 90+ CRG employees, and I'm even more excited about what our combined teams—a powerful force of nearly 300—will be able to deliver together!"

Mayer echoes Wood by saying, "We are so thrilled to become a part of the Opus family. We have an incredibly complementary set of services and clients, but even more importantly, there is complete harmony between our cultures and philosophies. Choosing the best acquisition partner for my team was imperative, and I have the utmost respect for Monte and his leadership. I have no doubt that, together, we will deliver even greater success for our clients."

As a result of the acquisition, Opus clients will benefit from even more scalability to manage events of any size and greatly expanded registration services support.
