Clandestine designs and produces corporate experiences and private hospitality for leaders who know the difference between getting it done and getting it right.
NBA All-Star Formula 1 Indy 500 LVMH Google Aramco
Fourteen years. More than 200 experiences. Our rooms have included multibillionaires and international royalty. We've built experiences around some of the world's biggest sporting moments and turned 'how did they do that?' ideas into reality in a matter of days.
Formula 1 Austin, Texas
VVIP hospitality inside the Paddock Club. A private dinner with a live graffiti artist. Side-stage access for Billy Joel. A VIP afterparty with The Chainsmokers.
The individual elements were impressive. The real work was making the entire experience feel like it belonged together.
NBA All-Star
A rooftop club created from scratch for approximately 1,000 sponsors and partners during one of the most visible weekends in professional sports.
The deadline was immovable. So was the expectation.
Hyosung
200 global guests. Attendance exceeded the original projection. Before the evening was over, we had already been asked back.
None of it is incidental.
The best experiences feel effortless because somebody made hundreds of precise decisions before the first guest walked through the door. That is the work.
You are not paying us to add more to the experience. You are paying us to know what belongs.
Different moments require different answers. Our job is not to force them into the same formula.
Leadership retreats, executive offsites and gatherings designed around what needs to happen in the room, not simply what needs to appear on the agenda.
Important conversations deserve rooms that support them. We think about acoustics, privacy, pacing, seating, service and the thousand small things that determine whether dinner actually works.
For customers, partners, executives and guests who have seen a lot already. Access is only the beginning. The experience still has to earn their attention.
Formula 1. Indy 500. NBA All-Star. Cultural moments where logistics, access, hospitality and expectation collide.
Groundbreakings, openings, anniversaries and moments that need to mean something after the ribbon is cut.
The destination is not the experience. What happens once everyone gets there is.
Founder
Kelley Troia is the founder of Clandestine Events + Experiences and The Little Black Book.
Before founding Clandestine, she built marketing operations practices at Walmart and Whole Foods, reporting to the CMO at both companies.
After more than three decades in marketing, hospitality and experiential, Kelley sees what others often miss: how a room behaves, where an experience will break, what guests actually need and which details deserve attention.
Today, that judgment shapes Clandestine's work across executive gatherings, corporate hospitality, sports, travel and experiences.
The Little Black Book
Hotels. Restaurants. Rooms. Cities. Experiences. The Little Black Book is where we share what earns our attention and why.
Not because something is new. Not because everyone is talking about it. Because we would put our own reputation behind sending someone there.
Skip the stars. Trust the Seal.
Tell us what is happening, who will be in the room and why it matters. We will take it from there.
