Event 360 family, Event 360 alumni, current and former client partners, and industry friends: what a year!

Over the next two weeks, we’ll be sharing our insights into What 2020 Taught Us. I know, I know; it’s hard to imagine everything we’ve learned fitting neatly into two blog posts. But it will! First up, I’ll be talking about the importance of connecting to your mission (more on……
When I think of Event 360 lore, one of my very favorite traditions is the Thanksgiving Day email Event 360 co-founder Mike “Murph” Murphy sends to the whole company. Every year, I hole up by myself for a few minutes to escape the toasty kitchen, my extended family and turkey……

2020 has been a YEAR. In the midst of a global pandemic, an election, murder hornets, and more, a bright spot for our team has been the arrival of two tiny new members of the Event 360 family. As new parents to our first kids, we have bonded over…
Since large gatherings always carry some sort of risk, it's best to muster all our technological nous to ensure that we will never have to deal with some tragedies that happened in the past. Of course, ensuring that such pow-wows go without accidents is not easy but thankfully, technology is……
Friday, October 16 was a big day for our team. It marked our return to putting on live, in-person events. What was only an idea 90 days ago became a real thing. By 7pm that Friday, the inaugural 5x5K FOR GOOD Denver was all built and ready to welcome…
The current state of the world has turned so many aspects of events on their head. We’ve all been challenged. We’ve been forced to cancel or postpone or virtualize (that’s a word now, right?) events. We’ve had to pivot and figure out how to safely do the work we all……
We are thrilled to share that we are one week away from event day. Event day. EVENT DAY. Something we were not sure would ever get to happen in 2020. Our hearts and minds are racing with the adrenaline that only a live, in-person event can bring. In this…
