Leadership feels a little different when your “office” is a ballroom, a loading dock, an airport gate, and a group chat that never sleeps. Our official 'Keeper of Calm' Nicole Marsh, CMP, DMCP featured on the Smart Meetings’ 'What One Thing?' podcast, and she talked with JT Long (she/her/ours) 🦋 about the side of leadership we usually keep off the agenda: The messy middle between peer and leader The emotional intelligence it takes to hold a team steady And what happens when your role evolves faster than your job title. It’s thoughtful, grounded, and VERY Nicole - calm in the chaos, curious in the unknown, people-first even when the pressure dials up. Worth a listen for anyone learning to lead, already leading, or simply showing up in roles where staying steady under pressure is part of the work. #Innovation #WomenInLeadership #Hospitality #EventsIndustry

If your event strategy starts with “we did this last year,” Scott Burns has thoughts. He unpacks human-to-human design, trust as a metric, and how AI can accelerate the work without flattening the ideas. From platforms to products, people are wearing their tech choices like a badge... And experiential is where that identity shows up in real life. Bookmark this for your next internal planning meeting.

Okay, so here's a thought: Conferences don’t have to feel like conferences. They can feel like movement. Like energy under your feet. Like possibility. In Austin, that’s exactly what we built with the GHX 2024 Summit (Yep, we're doing a throwback - It was just that great.) Three days designed for curiosity, collaboration, and connection across every level of healthcare. From the main stage to the GHX Experience floor, the goal was simple but what most would consider ambitious: Create a space where innovation moves from conversation to experience.

We know that great events start with great spaces. We're so proud of the fact that our team never stops exploring - finding new venues, unique backdrops, and creative environments that elevate every experience. Whether it’s a brand-new opening or a reimagined landmark, we’re here for it. Shoutout to Becky Tate, CMP for documenting an example of our process! #EventDesign #VenueDiscovery #ImprintEventsGroup #innovation #ExperientialMarketing

Huge congrats to Jennifer Selley, DMCP, CITP on a standout episode. 🎉 She gets some real, actionable insights from Scott Burns - from putting the audience at the center to using digital as the lure and measuring trust that actually moves decisions. Must-listen for enterprise event leaders. Audio Links in the comments - Youtube link on the page. #ExperientialMarketing #EventStrategy #EventProfs #BrandExperience

The Eventex Powerlist: Most Influential People in Events Voting is Nearly Closed - and we’re (obviously) backing our very own 'Keeper of Calm' -Nicole Marsh, CMP, DMCP. Why Nicole? Influence you can measure. She’s helped write 'Best Practices in Destination Management', mentors generously, and leads with that makes complex shows… oddly manageable. From boardrooms to show floors, the pattern repeats: clarity → execution → results. If Most Influential means someone who moves the work and people forward - then in our (only mildly biased) opinion - there's no better candidate. If you’ve worked with her, you know. If you haven’t, borrow our receipts. Featuring: Jeffry Denman, Nate Diamond, Alexis Dabney, Adriane Hodder, Brendon Riha, Becky Tate, CMP, Shelbey Faulkner, Emma Slifka, Mel DiMinno, Luc Hughart, Kylie Inglee & Chris Starkey (Link below) #EventPro #WomenInLeadership #Eventex #ExperientialMarketing #CorporateEvents

We borrowed a minute of everyone’s day and asked some Halloween quickfire questions. Just people, instincts, and a little chaos. Because lets be real - the best events run on this stuff. Energy, personality, split-second choices. The same muscle you need when doors open and the schedule breathes. Want to play along? Drop yours: Ghosts: believer or skeptic? Candy corn: elite or unthinkable? An event (or career) nightmare that haunts you to this day? We’ll take strong opinions over safe answers, every time!

Labubu ruled the internet this year, remember? That ugly‑cute monster went viral and spawned billions in merch Even a daring Louvre crown‑jewel heist vaulted French gems into overnight celebrities. These cultural moments show us that connection is powerful, whether you’re in a stadium or just putting on a silly costume with colleagues. Call it our Halloween sprint: Costumes → cameras → cackles → clips → culture. When people feel safe enough to look silly, they feel brave enough to take risks that actually matter. 👻 Three takeaways you can steal (no ski mask required): 🎃 Embrace the absurdity. Letting your team show up to work in a silly costume gives them license to be ridiculous.. Ridiculousness breeds vulnerability, vulnerability breeds trust. 🍬 Make space for micro-rituals. One planned day of in-person collaboration (yes, in costume) beats ten random Teams brainstorms. 🕸 Wrap the fun in purpose. Treat costume days as low-risk prototyping for run-of-show moments - audience prompts, floor activations, and recap structures you can scale on site. Play can be productive - if you document and debrief. Let's be honest: Culture doesn’t live in the handbook. It lives in these absurd, human moments. What’s the weirdest team ritual you’re proud of?

Think “block party,” then zoom out to a map. Golden, Colorado - one bluebird Saturday, and Coors’ anniversary became a living festival: stages humming, families drifting park-to-plaza, tap handles working overtime (Colorado doing Colorado). Not a look-back. A city-size remix. Two of our crowd magnet activations, wildly simple and wildly effective: • A giant Connect Four with custom discs - playful smack-talk, impromptu duos, one disc at a time → big reactions. • An interactive community mural - paint cups, shared brushes, sleeves rolled; a patchwork that felt part–Eras-Tour friendship bracelet, part civic time capsule. And around it, this is what we handled that made “one day” feel effortless: ↳ Full-scale event production & show direction ↳ Multi-stage concerts + backline + artist management ↳ Street festival logistics (closures, wayfinding, crowd flow) ↳ Park-wide family zone with roaming entertainment + activations ↳ Branded environments, signage systems, vendor strategy & ops ↳ Content capture for day-of and the afters Thousands came. The beer moved. Anniversaries can be nostalgia. Or they can be momentum. We chose the second one.
