Jennifer Brisman

Jennifer Brisman is an event veteran with over twenty years on the job. As an event technology expert, she was very sensitive to the pain points that events were encountering. Namely? The need for seamless collaboration. She believed there should be a way for event planners to centralize their communications and collaborative efforts to improve their ability to strategize and make plans.

Maria Shelton

Maria Shelton is the CEO and founder of the Ardian group—a data analytic company that provides numbers on events. These can be smaller in scale—like a trade show—or very large. In 2021, Adrian Group helped provide the data on the attendance and viewership numbers for the Biden Inauguration. As events go, that’s a pretty big one.

Any event technology expert is sure to acknowledge that data is a thread that ties so many other important technologies together. The work Maria Shelton does with her company directly informs so many of the other considerations that modern event planners deal with daily.

Wei Li

Wei Li

As the Head of Zoom events, Wei Li is an event technology specialist that works almost exclusively with video. During the height of the pandemic, her job was in high demand as she helped shift trade shows, fundraisers, and other traditionally in-person get-togethers into cyberspace. She believes that with the right technology, anyone can create high-quality video content.

Now, the pandemic isn’t nearly as devastating as it was two years ago. Nevertheless, many events are still hybridizing, allowing people to participate via video if they can’t make it, or if they are still uncomfortable with large crowds.
