In
the Beginning
We created this company with the
mission to create
unique
and exciting events in
New England. Besides producing shows, we keep ourselves busy
by being
media buying junkies, as well as being marketing gurus... Here's some tasty
tidbits on the people who are... Giraffe Events...
Vitas
Normantas (the
brother)
As co-owner, Vitas brings his strong
local reputation and technical savvy to Giraffe
Events. His experience in the big
bad corporate sector has given him a broad overview
of what works and what
doesn't. Vitas has been nationally recognized
for his expertise in creating
innovative solutions to health and safety problems.
He relishes the opportunity to bring
people together through Giraffe Events events.
Vitas is happily married to
Sheila, and has two outstanding children,
Marie and Sophie, whom
he is convinced will be Nobel
Prize winners. His future plans include finishing
the building of his own house.
Stefa Normantas (the sister) 
As co-owner, Stefa brings 17 years of diverse marketing
and communication experience including event management, advertising, account management,
public relations, editorial, and design to our clients. Stefa spent her career
in Boston at Fidelity Investments working in an in-house ad agency; additional
Fidelity roles included event planning for client conferences, golf outings, sales
meetings, trade shows and special events. After leaving Fidelity, Stefa directed
international communication initiatives at Liberty International in Boston
before returning to Maine to become a business owner. Stefa holds a dual
undergraduate degree in Communications/Studio Art and masters degree in
Communications Management from Simmons College, Boston, Massachusetts. Stefa

Sales, but you'll find him involved in
most phases of event management and
planning for Giraffe Events, LLC. With a
diverse marketing background including radio and
TV advertising sales and promotions, Peter utilizes all of his
skills
in working with business owners and
decision makers looking for ways
to profit from their trade show
experience.

family, (wife Erika, children Colby, Morgan, and Molly,) being a Maine native, and spending a
sunny day on the golf course.

a multi-million dollar company so that he can fulfill his dream of traveling
Down Under.
