Empire Force Events began in 1982 as Tours de Force Events, a small business offering specialized tours to the corporate market. During the next 12 years, Tours de Force Events grew from a boutique operation to a premier Event and DMC providing a complete range of services for a diverse and international clientele. In 1994 the company was offered for sale to then Vice-President, Ms. Jaclyn Bernstein, DMCP. Ms. Bernstein, DMCP partnered with Independent Producer Mr. Robert W. Hulsmeyer CSEP, DMCP, CMP, and together formed Empire Force Events, purchasing the company in June of that year.
Today, Empire Force Events is focused on growth through continually expanding services, creative partnering, and insured delivery of the utmost level of service.
