DANIEL VICINI, President
Growing up in California, Daniel has always had a need for fast-paced environments and being around fun-loving people. After working in the event industry for several years, Daniel saw a need for an event staffing company in Las Vegas who would always strive to go above and beyond for their clients. Thus, Dakota Events was created in 2003. While growing Dakota Events, Daniel has continued to be very active in the industry, executing events with several Fortune 500 companies.
ALEXANDRA STRAWN, Director of Operations
When Alexandra is not in the office working directly with our clients or on-site facilitating a program she can be found cheering on the University of Kansas basketball team. Beginning her career as an intern for Dakota Events over 13 years ago, Alexandra has transitioned into the Director of Operations where she manages our entire team across North America, as well as day-to-day operations.
