EVENTS + MEETINGS + TRAVEL
McAteer Meeting Management was built on the belief that the best experiences are effortless. With corporate roots and decades of experience in planning high-impact meetings, customer events, and incentive programs, we bring professional-grade precision to every detail. While our full name speaks to our foundation, most of our clients know us simply as M3—your trusted partner for Events. Meetings. Travel.

Successful meetings don’t happen by chance—they’re built with intention. At M3, we simplify the complex by creating agendas, logistics, and environments that keep participants focused and engaged. With Strategy + Spark at our core, we turn board retreats, sales conferences, and leadership sessions into effortless, productive experiences.

With corporate roots and a passion for exploration, we make travel planning effortless, transforming trips into stories worth sharing.
Strategy + Spark
We’re Bethany and Kelly McAteer, the husband-and-wife team behind McAteer Meeting Management—known to our clients as M3. With a blend of corporate roots and entrepreneurial spirit, we bring Strategy + Spark to every project we take on. For us, it’s not just about planning events, meetings, and travel—it’s about creating effortless experiences that build connection, inspire action, and leave a lasting impact.
Our Values
-
We believe trust is built on transparency. From the first conversation to the final invoice, honesty guides our decisions, our recommendations, and the way we communicate. Clients, partners, and guests can count on us to tell it straight and deliver what we promise.
-
Details are where good becomes great. We anticipate challenges before they surface, obsess over logistics, and polish the small touches that make experiences effortless. Every detail matters, because it’s often the little things that leave the biggest impression.
-
We never stop learning. Each event, meeting, and journey is an opportunity to evolve, refine, and raise the bar. By staying curious and open to new ideas, we bring fresh thinking and continuous improvement to every client partnership.
-
Exceeding expectations isn’t a goal—it’s our standard. We thrive on delivering service that goes above and beyond, anticipating needs before they’re spoken. Fanatical about serving others, we treat each client’s event as if it were our own.
-
We believe joy is contagious. By bringing positivity, laughter, and genuine enthusiasm to our work, we create experiences that are not only seamless but also fun. A happy team builds happy clients, and happy clients inspire unforgettable moments.
Tony Pearman
President and CEO, AccessU
“Our team often faces challenging events and client projects that stress even our robust capabilities. When that happens, finding someone we trust to deliver and make us look good along the way, is not easy. So, we turn to M3. They work as hard as our team, always managing to look calm and have a smile regardless of the crazy pace or request, and get the job done. We highly recommend.”
Kelly Rowell
“As a non-profit, there’s a fine balance between being cost conscious and creating an inspiring event that furthers your cause. Bethany understood this and delivered!”
