North American event and incentive travel agency MGME – part of the InteleTravel portfolio – has announced the acquisition of San Francisco-based Key Meetings & Events, a full-service agency with more than 35 years of experience serving private equity firms and corporate clients.
The acquisition will double MGME’s revenue and team size.
Key Meetings & Events founder Heather Keenan will join MGME’s Senior Leadership Team as executive director. Under Keenan’s leadership, the agency has built a loyal client base and manages more than 40 events annually across North America and internationally. Its work spans executive meetings, investor events, conferences, annual meetings and incentive programmes, with deep experience serving the high-touch needs of PE firms and their portfolio companies.
“Key Meetings & Events is exactly the kind of business we want to bring into MGME,” said Carvie Gillikin, president and CEO of MGME. “
With headquarters in New York City and British Columbia, Canada, MGME has delivered programmes in more than 70 countries and offers specialised services across Hotel Sourcing Solutions through SourceCraft, Air Travel Management through Air Logic, Creative Services and Event Production. Clients of Key Meetings & Events will gain access to these capabilities as their meetings and events needs grow.
The combination also brings Key Meetings & Events’ deep sector knowledge and established relationships across financial services, technology and private equity into MGME.
Key Meetings & Events will retain its established brand, operating as Key Meetings & Events, an MGME Company.
The acquisition marks MGME’s first since joining the InteleTravel portfolio in 2024.
