The Mandrier Group

The Mandrier Group is a boutique company that provides operations consulting, conference conference and planning, and association management to organizations around the world. 

Since 2018, SPGR Studio, has built and managed the visual identity for more than 30 conferences across five associations, delivering custom branding that travels as well as the events themselves. Associations and conferences have included:

• The Association of Cancer Executives
• The International Oncology Leadership Conference
• The Association of Cancer Center Administrators
• The International Museum Construction Conference
• The Association of Independent Research Institutes

Each conference receives a bespoke brand identity anchored by a custom-illustrated cityscape or landscape reflecting its destination. Rather than one-off designs, the work is built as a flexible system, allowing branded elements to scale seamlessly across a wide range of materials: environmental signage, name badges, social media graphics, PowerPoint templates, and custom event booklets. SPGR Studio also partners with print vendors to translate digital branding into large-format physical signage. SPGR Studio has worked in collaboration with Brevity & Wit on a handful of these events.

SPGR Studio owns the design process from kickoff to final delivery, managing multiple overlapping conferences simultaneously and producing deliverables on a rolling schedule to meet critical event deadlines.
