We’re finally recovered from an amazing time spent in Sacramento! 💜

What an incredible few days of learning, collaboration, fresh ideas, and meaningful connections with venue marketers from across the industry.

A huge thank you to all attendees, speakers, partners, and the officers/planning committee for making Sacramento such a success. And special thanks to our talented photographers and videographers for capturing the energy.

As we look back on the highlights, we’re already looking ahead to what’s next. Austin, we’re coming for you. 🤠 by @evmconference

JUST ANNOUNCED: Grab your ticket 🎟️ and hop aboard in Convergence Station 🚇 as we explore worlds beyond with Sophie Prince, Event Marketing Manager at Meow Wolf Denver, and their out-of-this-universe venue — The Perplexiplex, an immersive performance venue within the larger space. 🪐 Sophie guides us from the accessible unknown through the surreal world of Meow Wolf, which started in 2008 as an artist collective in Santa Fe and has now grown to five immersive and maximalist exhibits in Santa Fe, Denver, Vegas, Dallas and Houston. The Denver location, which was built with music in mind, is one of many locations which hosts touring artists. Hear all about the 360° projection-mapped venue, the wide mix of events they host, and how they have carved their space in a dense Denver market. #Venueland by @evmconference

JUST ANNOUNCED: We’re off to “The Land” to chat with Carrie Samek, Vice President of Event & Media Marketing at @rocketarena and @cavs. After learning about the arena and Carrie’s role with the venue and team, we chat through what it was like curating an exhibit around the 10 year anniversary of the Cav’s iconic 2016 NBA Championship, and the challenges of joys that came along with it. Carrie tells us about how they planned the arena’s 30th anniversary two years ago, which included a performance by Diplo and a drone show. We talk about her fun career path, from cold emailing the creator of Warped Tour to working phones at ClearChannel to touring with The Black Eyed Peas to her time with Belkin Productions and Live Nation and ultimately her current role. #Venueland by @evmconference
