About Us

WELCOME TO COTC EVENTS

COTC Events is the short version of our full name Cream of the Crop Events & Logistics. We were founded in 2009 by top industry professionals committed to “Changing the World one Event at a Time!”. It’s a proud name with a deep mission that we live up to every single day by being 100% client focused.

CHANGING THE WORLD ONE EVENT AT A TIME

Our tag line was an integral component of our DNA when we founded our company. We remain committed to our socially conscious and eco-friendly foundation. We offer a prime catalog of fun and challenging give-back programs that benefit the community and the local environment. In addition, we have contributed nearly $100,000 dollars to charitable causes over the last ten years with even bigger plans for the future. It’s simply the way we live our lives and conduct our business.
