Mission Statement:

"A Step Ahead, Ltd./Events2000.com advocates positive growth in the professionalism of the fairs, festivals and special events industry. We dedicate our resources and expertise to all individuals, organizations and communities willing to succeed."

A Step Ahead, Ltd. established in 1984 as an information resource company, is today one of the leading corporations of its kind in the fairs, festivals and special events industry. Publishing and special event consulting continue as its primary focus.

Bill and Camille left the corporate nine-to-five world over three decades ago to establish themselves as professional artists. After 13 years of doing shows, and traveling coast-to-coast, border-to-border, tens of thousands of miles later, the Ronays started their series of guides.

From the first copy of The Ronay Guide: Arts and Crafts in Georgia in February 1987 to the latest PDF version for Around the South!!!, special events magazine, the dedication to being "consistent, comprehensive and concise" has been primary. Whether in print or digital format, you will always be able to rely on the resources before you.

Since 1989, Bill and Camille have organized and participated in dozens of festival workshops, seminars and conferences across the Southeast. Large, established, major events as well as newly-formed festivals have relied on the Ronay expertise to help them refocus, improve and become better positioned in the community and region.

The Events2000.com web site is an excellent tool for anyone with an eye to success in the festivals and special events industry.
