Viv Events

Great DIRECT conference. I’ve attended just about every wine conference imaginable, and this conference is the best for the Direct to Consumer (DTC) wine industry. Well organized, relevant, and practical.

The San Francisco Conservation Corps hired Jamie’s company Viv Events for our annual fundraiser. Jamie was a consummate professional working with our staff and limited Non-​profit budget to organize the event. The event itself was staffed appropriately, beautifully decorated, and the service was spectacular. Jamie was at the event and she constantly checked in with us to make sure everything detail was being met. It was seamless and she made it seem effortless. I would highly recommend Jamie to anyone who wants their event to be everything they want it to be.

Jamie is the business owner I envy and strive to be one day: an independent woman passionate and driven by her field of work. This woman knows how to work hard behind the scenes to make the final event play out in the smoothest fashion possible.
I worked alongside Jamie when she organized a fundraiser event inside the Jewish Contemporary Museum in SF. She was a great point of contact in between various organization and sponsors of the event, checking in with each head of the event to make sure all needs were met, and was flexible to change certain parts of her agenda and responsibilities last minute with the wave of her hand. Easily accessible by email, text, or a phone call, Jamie is the pocket resource you should turn to anytime you need someone to organize your next event to make it memorable and hassle free!

I work with Jamie on two wine events and I find her professional, detail-​oriented and a great coordinator. She is consistently on the mark and I would highly recommend working with her.

I have worked with Jamie for over 5 years on the DIRECT conference she plans for the company, ShipCompliant. Jamie is amazing! So organized, forward-​thinking, and hospitable. She plans the entire conference, works with the conference location staff, books the speakers, and wrangles our team of employees… all with a smile on her face. She has really taken our conference to the next level and our customers (who attend the conference) love her and all the work she does. I would recommend using Viv Events for any of your events. Jamie can do it all!

I once again participated in an event run by Jamie Jimenez at Viv, «Direct 2014, the 9^th Annual Direct Sales Conference», and once again, it flowed impeccably! While she might be quiet to take credit for it, the success of the event was driven in large part by Jamie’s tireless efforts. Twice I’ve been a speaker at Direct, and each time I felt completely taken care of by Jamie and her outstanding team – both from her company, Vív, and her client’s company, ShipCompliant.
Having spoken at many conferences around the world, I’ve seen what works and what doesn’t. The best conferences are run in such a way that you don’t even think about it as an attendee (or speaker). What may seem like magic requires lots of work behind-​the-​scenes. That’s how it’s been at Direct.
One of the most crucial aspects of event planning is, well, the planning part! Prior to the event, Jamie was in contact with me the appropriate amount – enough to make sure I was taken care of, but not so much that I felt like I was being nagged. Even though I was a late addition to the program, she made sure I received the discount at the hotel and had everything I needed in terms of equipment and the room.
She is a warm, welcoming presence during the event as well. Despite what must be an incredibly stressful time – making sure all the plans run smoothly and being ready to improvise as needed when something doesn’t – Jamie ran out from whatever she was doing to greet me with her authentic, caring smile, and checked in with throughout the event.
The conference has grown over the years, and Jamie has played a significant role in its appeal. Jamie is extremely well-​organized, her professionalism is top-​notch, and her warmth makes you glad to be there. If I ever need to run an event, or recommend someone to do so, Jamie would be the first person I’d contact.

I worked with Jamie as a photographer on two events in the past year. One in California and the other in Colorado. There is a good reason why they flew her into Colorado, Jamie performs with aplomb in challenging situations and she had challenges like no other in Colorado. The preceding week Boulder experienced one of the worst weather events in recent history, extreme flooding and infrastructure damage. Somehow, and I really don’t know how, she was able to pull the two day event together with minimal issues.
The second event, which was held in San Francisco. Happily took a more normal course in regards to extraneous and unrelated events.
All of my interactions with Jamie were pleasurable and there was both open and positive lines of communications for both events. As a contractor that makes my job much easier and more pleasurable.
Jamie’s talent and passion for the work she does shines through with her smiles, joyfulness and unaffected manner.
I hope I get to work alongside her in the near future.

I have worked with Jamie as an exhibitor at the ShipCompliant conference for several years. Jamie and her team always work to make a smooth, organized setup for the exhibitors happen. She was always helpful and followed up to be sure any request was addressed. We loved this conference as we always have interested attendees to show our products to. We will continue to exhibit at this conference because of the high quality and targeted attendees.
I would highly recommend Jamie as she is a positive and results driven professional.

Jamie has done a great job managing our events at ShipCompliant. She is very detail-​oriented, and is very good at handling logistics for speakers. She also is very proactive in managing the budget and reaches out to potential sponsors tactfully and appropriately. She helps coordinate the format of each event and also manages the agenda to fit in with the overall company goals. Overall, very highly recommended.
