What his clients and colleagues say about him and his team:
HARLEY-DAVIDSON
I’ve had the pleasure of working with Charlie Alger for over five years where Charlie has conceptualized, designed and produced several high profile, award winning events for Harley-Davidson. Charlie quickly became an integral part of the International Harley-Davidson Customer Experience Team. Charlie used his knowledge and expertise to lead the work of identifying, negotiating and contracting strategic locations for Harley’s flagship International Events. Charlie led large complex teams, workstreams and budgets all the way through to event execution.
Charlie has a wealth of experience and is someone I would refer to as a “black-belt” in all things events, where you not only get a reliable, professional and structured approach to event management, you also get an extremely well-connected, likeable and fun guy to work with.
I could not recommend Charlie enough to manage any type of event project, big or small, in any kind sector.

CASCAIS
Charlie Alger is a great professional and most of all, a great person. I had the pleasure to work with Charlie in the organisation of The Harley-Davidson European HOG Rally here in Cascais in 2019.
Working with Charlie is knowing that you will have things done, it´s knowing that instead of a problem you will have not a solution, but four or five and always delivered with a smile on his face.
The way Charlie interacts with his teams, sponsors and partners instantly reveals the professional he his. I would definitely recommend Charlie for any position related to events.

DTRA - DIRTQUAKE
The DTRA has worked with Charlie to deliver events on the run up to and including the motorcycle racing festival DirtQuake.
Charlie and his team were faced with the challenges of extreme weather during the event and his team really pulled out all the stops to make sure things went ahead safely. They met and exceeded our expectations and were fantastic partners offering support before, during and after the event.
