Global Integration. Local Expertise.
Our North American corporate headquarters is in Chicago, IL (USA) and
our European headquarters is in Lisbon, Portugal (EU). Additionally,
Bacchus has regional support offices in 24 US, Canadian and European
cities. By means of this efficient global integration, Bacchus can service
clients in New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Washington, DC, Boston,
San Diego, Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston, Atlanta, Miami, New Orleans,
Orlando, Tampa-St. Petersburg, Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal, London,
Paris, Cannes, Madrid, Barcelona, Milan, Munich and Vienna.
We offer complete meeting planning and event production services in each of these above-referenced major markets.
In addition, we've recreated all of our proprietary orchestras, bands and dance troupes in many of these cities, utilizing the finest locally-based professional musicians and dancers. In other words, in many of these North American and European cities, where Bacchus maintains a regional office, there are now fully-functioning identical versions of all of our bands, orchestras and dance troupes. This is exactly how major professional Broadway musical productions recreate different - yet equal - versions of their shows in cities around the world.
With the ongoing support of our loyal clients, and as market conditions dictate, we will continue to expand our global reach and global support capabilities. To that end, negotiations are currently ongoing with several potential partners for an Asian strategic alliance.
