An Event Tech Veteran with a Mission


As an event tech veteran, I’ve seen how the industry has grown and recognized the need for event delivery leaders with the digital event strategy experience to quickly jump in and lead a project with confidence. With that, the Smart Event Academy was born as a place where individuals could quickly, through experiential learning, acquire the skills and savvy they need to lead an event technology project with confidence.
