An Event Tech Veteran with a Mission

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

What Colleagues are Saying

Respected throughout the industry, here’s what fellow event pros have to say.

We’re excited to be a part of your future.

Event technology is a fun and dynamic place to be — with new tech evolving rapidly and event organizers consistently looking to provide new and fresh experiences for their attendees.

With that, the need for technically-minded project managers who get event strategy is only going to grow — with a projected three-fold increase in the next five years. And stalwarts like online registration, session scheduling, and video delivery are just the tip of the event tech iceberg.

Registration opens soon for our signature Smart Event Foundations course — a six-week, hands-on training program for new digital event technology project managers.

If you are:

  • An individual ready to make a career change, or
  • A manager looking to quickly onboard and train new team members, or
  • An event prof looking to better understand the digital side of events

This course is for you.
