Our WHY

Afficient Consulting, LLC was created by Amy Williams (Van Duyne), CSEP in March 2021.  With 20+ years experience in the event industry, Amy saw a need to serve and strengthen the operational side of your event industry business.

  • Without processes, consistency in service may not meet the client’s expectations.
  • Without streamlining, duplication may continue to occur.
  • Without goals, team members will struggle to know what they are striving to achieve.
  • Without systems, tasks will continue to take longer than needed.
  • Without all of the above, it will take more time, money, and effort to accomplish all aspects of the business.

With first-hand experience in event management, audio-visual production, decor, floral design, catering, and business operations, Amy’s passion is to bring structure and efficiency to your every day work.

“I want you to feel enthusiastic about your vision and that it’s obtainable with measurable goals, tracking, and accountability.”

Afficient Consulting strives to listen and support the overall ideas and goals to answer the question, ‘What’s Next?’ in your business.
