About Us

Who We Are

Angela Rogers Group began in 2006 as a hard-working, hands-on firm. ARG is built on the principle expressed in Lucille Ball’s wise words, working hard every day to make sure that no matter how many projects we have in progress with our partners, that each and every one knows that they are receiving 100% dedication from our team.

The Angela Rogers Group brings extensive national experience and expertise in a wide range of disciplines. Ultimately, what we do is simple: We support you. Primarily through conference and association management, ARG acts as an extension of your association.

Whether it’s day-to-day operations, a conference, a project or campaign, our staff draws on decades of experience collectively in the event production, association management, public relations, and communications industries to help exceed our clients’ needs. And that expertise extends to marketing, media relations, web development and other creative services as well. Taking a partnership approach with our clients, we adopt a vested interest in your success. And that’s the ARG difference.
