As the NVBDC National Conference gears up for October 2025 in Spartanburg, South Carolina, NVBDC Certified businesses are preparing to make a powerful impression—and Gutterpy Tents powered by Liquid Screen Design is here to help them do exactly that with professional event branding and displays.
Owned by Navy Veteran Andy Macias, Gutterpy began as a practical solution to a common event headache: unreliable, flimsy pop-up tents. What started with a DIY sewing machine and a built-in rain gutter for outdoor events has grown into a full-service custom event branding company. Based in Cleveland, Ohio, Gutterpy delivers high-quality, eye-catching tents, displays, apparel, and promotional products for clients across North America.
From branded tents and table covers to custom apparel and signage, Gutterpy clients receive design, sourcing, and fulfillment support from start to finish. And thanks to their recent merger with Liquid Screen Design, they now offer turnkey solutions including order management, artwork, and even online store setup.
But what sets Gutterpy apart isn’t just its quality gear—it’s the mission behind the brand. As a certified Veteran- and minority-owned business, Gutterpy is leading the charge in helping fellow VOBs make a lasting impact at national conferences like NVBDC’s.
“Our goal is to empower Veteran-owned businesses to grow,” Macias said. “We want every VOB to walk into the NVBDC Nationals knowing they look legit, professional, and ready to close deals.”
One of the best ways to gain visibility? Visit the Veteran Marketplace, a dedicated space at the conference where VOBs can connect directly with corporate buyers, build relationships, and explore real opportunities. But Macias emphasizes: preparation is key. Partnering with Gutterpy ahead of time can help businesses stand out—for all the right reasons.
“Too many entrepreneurs overvalue what they are not, and undervalue what they are,” Macias said, quoting Malcolm Forbes. “Our goal is to help VOBs showcase their value clearly and confidently.”
