The Executive Edge: Supporting the Professionals Who Keep Business Moving

At Urbanride, getting from A to B is only part of the journey. What sets us apart is our commitment to the people behind the businesses we serve – particularly the executive assistants and administrative professionals who keep everything running seamlessly. That’s why we actively engage with Executive Assistants Organization (EAO) and support events that recognize and empower these key individuals.

This spring, we had the privilege of participating in two standout EAO gatherings that honored, educated, and connected professionals within this important community.

On April 23rd, we joined EAO in San Francisco for an unforgettable evening at the Golden Gate Yacht Club, hosted by our partners at Live it Up Charters on the yacht Hotel California.

The event brought together local executive assistants to enjoy wine tastings, gourmet catering, yacht tours, and a spirited passport challenge, with the winners earning a coveted spot on a charter aboard the same yacht.

Urbanride was proud to contribute by providing complimentary ground transportation to three lucky winners and surprising several attendees with gift cards to local restaurants. The entire evening was a celebration of the dedication and professionalism that EAs bring to their roles every day – and we were honored to be part of it.

Earlier in the season, we attended the Behind Every Leader conference at Prisoner Wine Company in St. Helena, California. Hosted in the heart of wine country, this gathering brought together executive assistants for a full day of learning, networking, and inspiration.

Sessions covered practical skills, workplace tools, and career development strategies, all led by experienced speakers and industry experts. From new insights on emotional intelligence to time-saving tips for digital platforms like Slack, the day offered valuable takeaways for everyone in attendance.

The day’s main highlight was the sheer networking. Attendees from across the Bay Area and beyond connected over shared experiences, best practices, and future opportunities. The conversations were meaningful, and the connections formed are already driving new collaborations.

At Urbanride, we believe our service is not just about transportation – it’s about trust. By participating in events like these and supporting industry associations more broadly, we deepen our relationships with the professionals who rely on us and reaffirm our commitment to their success.

We’re excited to continue showing up in ways that go beyond logistics – supporting professional communities, recognizing the people who make businesses thrive, and fostering connections that last long after the ride is over.

If you’re an EA or part of a professional organization looking to connect, collaborate, or co-host a future event, let’s start a conversation today!
