Upcoming Event Industry Conferences You Don’t Want to Miss!

Experience hands-on learning, inspiration, and community for your event business.

At Hustle & Gather, we’re all about real talk over empty motivation. Hands-on learning over humblebrag storytelling.

We build those values into every venue conference and entrepreneur retreat we host so that you can get the most bang for your buck. Venue owners, managers, and event professionals: You want your business to be the best it can be, right? We want to help you take it to the next level.

Our event industry conferences are where it happens…

Gather, learn, and implement to grow your event biz.

During our time in the event venue business, we’ve seen it all. Conferences that leave you with more questions than answers. Motivational speakers that felt fake and unrealistic. Events that felt like a waste of time and money.

You won’t find any of that at our event industry conferences.

Instead, you’ll find workshops that let you put what you learned into action. You’ll hear authentic, honest stories from keynote speakers. You’ll connect with other event business owners like yourself and grow your network. You’ll leave feeling knowledgeable, energized, and ready to tackle your next project.
