Voilà! Meetings Selected to Join Team Orchestrating Pope Benedict XVI Visit to U.S.

Washington, D.C. (PRWEB) April 8, 2008 -- Voilà! Meeting and Event Management, a premier full-service event management and incentive firm in the DC Metro area, is pleased to announce that it has been chosen to play a significant role in the visit of Pope Benedict XVI to the United States this April.

As the event management firm retained to manage all media related activities and logistics in this historic visit to the U.S. by the Holy Father on April 15-20, Voilà! will design, contract and implement many of the activities involved in the multi-faceted event spanning Washington, D.C. and New York City, NY.

Voilà!'s comprehensive services for the six-day event include site selection, hotel negotiations and housing, media pool site trips, media centers, media access and press credentialing, technology implementation, translation services, full staffing support and city-wide transportation. Voilà! will also operate directly with the U.S. Secret Service and city police departments to ensure proper security measures are established and executed among all venues.

"Voilà! is very pleased and honored to be playing such a leading role in the upcoming Papal visit," said Eden Capuano, Principal of Voilà! "Our relationship with the USCCB is the type of client relationship we really value. We have proven strengths in coordinating all aspects of high-profile programs, which has translated into our being named as a major participant in this most historic event."

Voilà! was selected to play a significant role in the Papal visit based on its strong relationship with the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) - the lead organization responsible for promoting and coordinating Pope Benedict XVI's U.S.-based visit. The USCCB also cited Voilà's demonstrated track record of exceptional service, proven ability to deliver, and attention to detail.

"We chose Voilà! to assist us with this highly anticipated event with the Holy Father based on their long-standing record of providing us with world-class program support. We always appreciate their team approach and know that we can count of them to successfully execute on planned and unexpected details. We have full confidence that they will do what they do best and help make this a flawlessly orchestrated event," said Helen Osman, Executive Secretary of Communications at USCCB.

"The services we are providing for the Papal Visit are among the many varied services we provide to all of our clients. Granted, the level of security is higher than any other Head of State event we manage and the logistics involve an extensive global presence not usually encountered. Add managing the needs of over 5,000 media personnel from outlets such as CNN, Reuters, ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox, and the Associated Press and we have a trifecta of meeting planning challenges, all of which we're prepared to meet and exceed," comments Olivia Immerman, Principal of Voilà!
