Saving Your Event from being a Fyre Festival | Building Creative Events With Your Audience In Mind | Posts About The Process

I am an Event Producer and Strategist for organizations struggling to curate the best events for their audience.

🡲 I identify the disconnect between client KPIs, sponsor goals and attendee needs
🡲 I build the overall event that is never one sided
🡲 I help event professionals understand the event objectives for flawless execution
🡲 I create community between events hosts, attendees and the cities they are hosted in

This isn't a Event Planner skilled in logistical work.
This is me offering my gift to ensure your event is one-of-a-kind to your audience

What Do I Bring To The Table?

🡲 Saved a client $164,357.54 in overspending to apply that to other programs
🡲 Created strategic event plans for clients hosting multi-year events to aid decision makers
🡲 Advised CEOs on ways to build partnerships with cities to best scale their event
🡲 Develop ways to streamline the planning/production process using event tech
🡲 Helped charities raise more than $25,000,000 in donor support

Who Do I Work With?

🡲 Nonprofits seeking ways to increase donations beyond annual galas
🡲 Associations who desire creative ways to educate and hold annual meetings
🡲 Boards or Committees who seek long-term solutions
🡲 Brand events that need creativity, accountability and proven success

Why Should You Hire Me?

🡲 Because your team, while amazing at what they do, are not experienced Event Planners
🡲 Because you want more than event awareness, but increased sales and lasting results
🡲 Because your event needs a leader who builds community and diverse event vendors around it

My experience is in creating the events that build communities

What Others Had To Say?

"Andrew was personally attentive.  He not only answered any questions we had, Andrew made relevant and invaluable recommendations that we had not considered – he had a sense for what we needed even when we did not!"  
—The American College Conference for Financial Professionals

"There was a noticeable increase in the customer service level that our attendees received during this event. Having additional staff working with identifying speakers proved to be a tremendous help to the ITSMF team for this event. The team was very responsive to on-site changes and requests from them."
—ITSMF Planning Committee

Andrew & his team put together an incredible brand event for our second-annual Underdog Fantasy "Dawg Bowl". From the the initial reach out until event conclusion, there was clear and constant communication and all vendors he brought in were heavily vetted and surpassed expectations.
—Underdog Fantasy

Our country is in shambles, but that doesn't mean you have to be.

This weekend a small group of my friends got together to enjoy Friendsgiving. Everyone one of us pitched in and it was the best escape from the noise. 

During dinner I reflected on a few things:

1 - Many people are facing financial difficulty. Having my friends contribute one item versus putting the burden on one person was a smart move.

2 - We had leftovers and was able to feed one of my friend's extended family who is facing hardship.

3 - The world might be in shambles, but the more I can focus on the things I can control, the better off I am. 

4 - Seasonal depression is already starting and I'm currently looking for new ways to remain happy, volunteer and donate to those in need. 

I also realized how much of our conversation was about politics which I really hate to write, but it reminded me to not be consumed by social media and the news. 

As Thanksgiving nears, I really hope you all find things to be thankful for.

Holiday Parties: The Place Where Leadership Gets It Wrong Every Single Time.

Here I am standing in the back of the ballroom at the A/V table as the CEO, slightly buzzed, makes his speech.

The speech? It prioritizes company accomplishments, sales goals for 2026 and the celebration of bonuses most employees wont get.

I look around the room, which looks stunning, but what catches more of my attention are the employees and their faces.

It felt like a video in slow motion. Right before my eyes where 300 smiles turned to resting bitch faces with people feeling like spectators versus valued participants.

What is crazy about this moment is what came to my mind next.

This was awfully familiar to that man in DC who decided to throw lavish parties at his Florida estate during a government shutdown.

This certainly is no dig at hosting lavish holiday parties as who wants basic and boring?

However, if you are going to host such a party, leaders must create a space where their employees feel seen and appreciated for who they are, not just for their work.

For many employees, the holidays are a reminder of loss, stress, financial pressure, and mental health challenges.

So when your CEO gets on stage for their grand speech, this should be the event’s grounding moment.

The point where everyone understands why they’re there: to be celebrated as people, not just for what they’ve done.

The Lesson: You can host a great event, but it must also ensure emotional connection. Lavish doesn’t have to mean tone-deaf. A CEO clueless about the importance of their people is.

Leadership isn’t about hosting the biggest party. It’s about making sure your people know they matter.

Clients in 2025 aren’t asking about centerpieces—they’re asking about AI, sustainability, and personalization. 

If you’re planning an event, here are the top questions shaping your industry right now:

✅ 1. How do you make events sustainable?
Eco-friendly practices are no longer optional. Think zero-waste initiatives, carbon tracking, and green-certified venues.

✅ 2. Can you create hybrid experiences that feel seamless?
Hybrid events now include interactive digital lounges, AR/VR features, and exclusive content for remote attendees.

✅ 3. How do you personalize attendee experiences?
Hyper-personalization is key. Think curated agendas, AI-driven matchmaking, and tailored content for every guest.

✅ 4. What tech do you use for engagement?
AR/VR, immersive apps, and AI-powered networking are the new standard.

✅ 5. How do you measure success beyond attendance?
Engagement scores, social media impact, and ROI analytics matter more than headcount.

✅ 6. What accessibility measures do you provide?
Inclusivity is non-negotiable. Compliance and thoughtful design are essential.

Why does this matters?

Events are evolving fast. If you’re not addressing these questions, you’re behind.

Your Turn:

Which of these questions do you hear most often? Or what would you add to the list?
