Lara's passion for creating memorable experiences for event attendees, coupled with meeting the strategic goals of corporations, brands and non-profit organizations, is at the core of what drives Smedley Events' success. Lara has developed a clientele across Colorado and Texas, working with organizations in the technology and non-profit sectors, the conference and meeting industry, and continuing relationships in the sports & entertainment space. 

In 2019, Smedley Events launched its first series of purposeful conversation events with the Sunset Dinner Experience. The Sunset Dinner Experience brings together culinary and event experts for a thoughtfully curated evening of connection in a scenic oasis at Sumac Hill Farm in Centennial, Colorado. Guests are treated to a multi-course meal and beverage pairings while enjoying conversation with friends new and old in a Jeffersonian style dining experience.
