“I’ve had the privilege of working with Tom Bercu Presents for more than a decade. His creativity, technical expertise and professionalism are surpassed only by the passion he brings to creating mind-blowing events that attract more than 4,000 guests and his willingness to go above and beyond. I entrust Tom with my two biggest revenue-generating events and take a mostly hands-off approach, and he has always delivered top-notch experiences for our guests – as proven by the fact that they leave year after year saying “that was the best one yet!”

Anne Comm
National Marketing Manager
“Thank you for joining the Hong Kong Tourism Board as the event producer for two of our biggest campaigns ever, the “ Hong Kong —Live It. Love It!” consumer campaign and the 73 rd American Society of Travel Agents (ASTA) World Travel Congress.
The Government Promotion in New York and in San Francisco , to herald the arrival of The Honorable Donald Tsung, Chief Secretary of the Special Administrative Region of Hong Kong, was a Herculean effort, given the three-week lead time. The launch of the “Live It. Love It!” campaign in the USA was impressive, with the broadcast of our two-minute TV commercial on the Times Square JumboTron being witnessed by numerous New York State and City government and business leaders. Inside the Reuters Studio, the reception was a magical event with scrumptious food, perfect décor, and superb performances.
The transformation of San Francisco ‘s Union Square into a Hong Kong happening just five days later was extraordinary. The thousands of consumers who attended were immersed in the East meets West, old and new that is Hong Kong . From the Chinese calligrapher to Beach Blanket Babylon to the dim sum to the world-famous Stratosphere and all the many stations capturing Hong Kong ‘s culture, the event could not have been more successful.
Tom, your professionalism is exemplified by your overall organization, ability to work with others and flexibility in the face of rapid and numerous changes. You offered ingenuity, attention to detail and a level of resourcefulness I’ve not encountered with prior events. With two important events virtually back-to-back, you rose to the challenge and ensured that HKTB was at its finest.”
