Meet XLIVE's 2021 Emerging Leaders in Event Tech

XLIVE is proud to present its first-ever list of Emerging Leaders in Event Tech, recognizing young event professionals — in both the B2B and live entertainment sectors — who are leading the way as the industry continues to undergo an exciting transformation fueled by technology and are — in some cases quite literally — building the future events and experiences.

These emerging leaders were nominated by their colleagues and peers, and are being recognized for their unwavering dedication to events and their drive to create the best possible experiences for their clients, fans, and stakeholders. The impressive eventprofs on our list have not only found ways to weather the storm of the past 20 months, but have continuously innovated and come out stronger on the other side.

Our list includes founders, production experts, marketers, and content producers who are working on engaging tech for virtual events and fan experiences, and are helping to educate the industry on ever-evolving best practices.

Here is the complete list of 2021’s Emerging Leaders in Event Tech — we hope you enjoy learning more about what they’re up to and join us in congratulating them for their incredible work!
