Our Story

Eleventh & Gather has continuously evolved and grown alongside the registration industry while anticipating the needs and challenges that face today’s meeting planners. Since our inception in 1978, our success has largely depended on our willingness to customize a solution based upon the unique needs of our clients. What sets us apart from every other registration company in the business? Eleventh & Gather makes a personal commitment to make sure you succeed! With the combination of our experience, knowledge in new technology and outstanding customer service, we are the best in the industry!  

Our Name

In 2020 our company underwent a rebranding that included the roll-out of new and improved services, as well as a name change. Eleventh & Gather was selected the name of our company by current staff/owner and we are excited to share the story behind the name. Eleventh came about because when Kalib, the owner and CEO, started at the company there were just eleven (11) clients. November, the eleventh month is the month that both of Kalib’s children were born and it is considered a lucky number by many. The word Eleventh contains the word event and we think you can connect those dots! Gather became the finishing touch to our new name as Gathering people of like interests is what our hospitality industry is all about. As a company, we have gathered together multiple services to offer a comprehensive and integrated registration, housing, on-site staffing and lead retrieval solution.  We are still the dedicated company  that is committed to providing clients with the latest registration technology, reliable products and excellent customer service!
