“Thanks again for all your help in putting this together, I couldn’t have done it without you for sure.”

– Andrew P. Makrigiannis, Ph.D., CSI 2022 Hybrid Conference Chair

“Working with Shaina made all the difference!  We’d never held an online conference before, and her expertise, patience, and positivity kept us organized, on-track and consistently moving forward.

Shaina was integral to the success of our conference – I can’t wait to work with her again!”

– Jeff Mercer, 2021 LAMNS Conference Chair

“You guys did a phenomenal job, and the meeting was a success in large part because of your care, dedication and skills.“

– S.M. Mansour Haeryfar, CSI Vice President

“We hired Shaina to help our association organize a mid-sized virtual conference. She not only brought expertise with virtual event platforms, which our team lacked, but also a calm and steady presence that helped keep us motivated and on track to our goal. Shaina was adaptable, accommodating, and able to anticipate and respond to our needs at every step of the way. She’s an excellent communicator, too, and extraordinarily capable at delivering what’s required and then some. Plus she’s a delight to work with! I would recommend Shaina and Gemstone to anyone in a heartbeat!“

– Sharon Murray, 2021 LAMNS Conference Organizer, Council of Nova Scotia Archives

“Hiring Gemstone for our International Congress was the best decision we could have made. Bobbi and Shaina are attentive to details, excellent trouble-shooters, professional, organized and amazing from start to finish. We had 130 attendees from 30 different countries for a six-night, five-day programme. It was complex, and demanding, but the Gemstone team kept us on track with clear, timely communications and strategies. Great value, excellent support. I highly recommend them!“

– Kim Reinhardt, ICMM Chair, Manager at Maritime Museum of the Atlantic
