The EventUp Podcast was created as a platform to showcase events industry leaders and event industry news. Thank you for the overwhelming support and look forward to many more fantastic podcast episodes to help uplift our community.
EventUp formed out of our desire to help others gain insight into the current happenings within the events industry, but it truly blossomed into having guests from a multitude of industries such as events, public relations, marketing, tech, and entertainment.
Another purpose is to help highlight other diverse and women top professionals.
