We have a lot to be grateful for as we move into the final stretch of 2026, and I want to share some of that with you.
September was, by every measure, the strongest month in HelmsBriscoe’s history. That’s not a milestone we take lightly. It reflects the trust you place in our team, the hard work of our 1,500 Associates around the world, and frankly, a market that is sending a clear signal: in-person meetings and events matter more than ever.
In addition, while we are incredibly proud of a record September, what strikes me most isn’t the number itself. It’s what that number represents. Every piece of business behind it is a meeting that mattered to someone. A conference that brought colleagues together. An incentive program that recognized someone’s hard work. An event that moved an organization forward.
That’s what this industry is really about, and it’s easy to lose sight of when the pace of business gets busy. We built this company on the belief that the right meeting, in the right place, at the right terms, can change outcomes for our clients, and that will always be at the core of what we do.
We expect demand to remain strong in the final quarter of 2026 and into 2027, and as a result, we encourage our clients to plan for the months to come. In this environment, lead times can be crucial, and our Associates are ready to help you get ahead of the demand to secure the best possible terms for your programs.
As we look toward the end of the year and the planning cycles that come with it, I want to simply say thank you — to our clients for the trust you place in us, and to our Associates for showing up every day with the dedication and expertise that make it all possible. The work you both do to bring people together is meaningful, and we take great pride in that.
Here’s to a strong finish to 2026 and an even better year ahead.
