Frank Goldstin, founder and CEO of Chicago-based event production company G/M! Productions, announced today that his company will open an office in New York next month.

“Stemming from a recent increase of business in the publishing, financial and pharmaceutical industries, it is a natural progression for us to make New York a solid base of operation for our East Coast partners,” Goldstin said.

Under the direction of Goldstin and veteran New York event marketer Alice Turner, G/M! Productions/New York will focus on the East Coast with its “total brand” event marketing programs to its portfolio of corporate and nonprofit clientele.

Turner, formerly the senior event producer at Eventquest, joined G/M! as executive vice president and most recently produced events including the televised GQ Man of the Year Awards and the post-Grammy event reception for Sony Music.
