Allyson (Helle) Rinaldo

Allyson began her meeting and event planning career with a degree from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in Recreation Administration, a minor in Chemistry, and an intensive internship program on an exclusive island off North Carolina's coast.

Throughout the internship program, Allyson coordinated and detailed family activities and competitions for the island's visitors, like Demi Moore, Bruce Willis, Willard Scott, Bill Cower and their families.

Realizing her true calling, following her internship, Allyson found herself at a Chicago-based international meeting planning firm where she specialized in high-end pharmaceutical clients. Earning the position of Director of Meeting Planning, she managed a team of seven meeting planners and four audio-visual production staff to deliver superior meetings, conferences and special events throughout North America and Europe.

After eight years working in both sales and operations, Allyson changed companies and focused solely on sales. As Director of Corporate Sales, Allyson broadened her range of vertical markets beyond the pharmaceutical industry.

With over a decade of experience, Allyson continues to pursue her passion for planning and selling meetings at ADH.
