Rooms worth being in.

Holistic event planning and thought partnership for mission-driven professionals and organizations in the DMV.

Advisory Services

Before booking a venue or sending an invite, we figure out your “why.” I help you clarify your goals, define your audience, and design an experience that earns the room's attention.
Flawless logistics, managed quietly. Vendors coordinated, timelines held, details handled — so you can be fully present with your people.
Sometimes you don't need a planner. You need a partner who asks the right questions. I offer strategic counsel at any stage, from early concept through post-event reflection.
The room clears, but the work isn't done. I help you capture momentum, foster new relationships, and turn a single gathering into lasting impact.

I’m Madison Kyra Szabo, founder of MKS Collective. I’m a New Jersey native, Wesleyan University alumna, and former NCAA DIII basketball player.

I’ve built my career across legislative and regulatory advocacy and nonprofit operations, putting the art of convening into practice along the way.

I came to believe that how and why you bring people together says everything about what you stand for.

MKS Collective is built around that bold and beautiful conviction.
