Celebrating the People Who Shape Our Industry

Behind every successful events professional is someone who made a difference — a mentor, a teacher, a role model who opened a door, shared wisdom, or inspired a path forward.
“I’m a Fan” is a campaign created to recognize and celebrate those individuals who have had a lasting impact on careers across the events industry.
How It Works
We invite events industry professionals to share their story and shine a spotlight on the person who helped shape their journey.
Each submission should include:
  • Who you are
  • When you got involved in the events industry
  • What you do today
Your Tribute (25 Words or Less)
In just 25 words or fewer, tell us about the person who was invaluable to your success and how they influenced your career.
Make it meaningful. Make it personal. Make it count.
 
Why It Matters
Mentorship fuels growth. Recognition builds community. Stories inspire the next generation.By sharing your “I’m a Fan” story, you’re helping elevate the people who make this industry stronger — one connection at a time.
 
Join the Campaign
Celebrate your mentor. Honor your journey. Inspire what’s next.
 
Because no one succeeds alone — and everyone deserves a fan.
