Your Key Connections

Lorraine Janusas, President & Founder
Building on a foundation of twenty plus years of managing unprecedented growth and success at event and DMC firms in New England, Lorraine Janusas founded Eventful Connections in 2011 with the goal of offering clients a quality experience every step of the way. Using her proficiency to translate the big picture into a strategic step-by-step plan for achieving goals, Lorraine’s logistical expertise and intense client focus result in controlled costs and exceptional events.

Personally involved in every project, Lorraine relishes the challenges and opportunities presented by her clients and each new program. Confident in her abilities yet humble in her approach, Lorraine has earned an unparalleled reputation for exceptional attention to detail and the ability to always deliver while exceeding clients’ expectations. 

As one of Boston first DMCs to reach out “across the pond” and partner with global clients, Lorraine understands the nuances and preferences of different cultures. Whether working with local or global clients, her goals are always the same—build a successful connection that clients can rely on!   

Naturally inquisitive, Lorraine greets each day as a chance to learn about new resources or possibilities that inspire her and ultimately benefit Eventful Connections’ clients. Described by a vendor as being “firm but fair,” Lorraine’s goal in each partnership is to form an alliance resulting in long term relationships. Lorraine’s determination, ability to adapt, follow through, and tenacity are complemented by her sense of humor.

Lorraine enjoys walks on the beach with her husband Jim and her miniature schnauzer Cooper as well as time spent with family and friends, in addition to a passion for gardening, fashion, culinary adventures and travel.
