Background

About Jenn Blate

With over 15 years of event leadership experience, I’ve built global programs that do more than just fill rooms — they connect people, spark ideas, and elevate brands. I specialize in creating intentional, high-impact events that align with business goals and deliver meaningful experiences. Throughout my career, I’ve led cross-functional teams, developed scalable systems, and built structured approaches to executing complex corporate meetings, executive summits, and large-scale activations. I’ve partnered with stakeholders across industries — from healthcare and finance to professional sports and tech — and consistently delivered results, including managing multi-million-dollar budgets and increasing sponsorship ROI by over 40%. I’m passionate about creating moments that matter, whether that’s through building event strategy, managing vendor relationships, leading teams, or negotiating partnerships that drive value. At my core, I believe great events don’t just support brand goals, they embody them. And I love working with teams that think big, move fast, and lead with purpose.
