My event planner story starts here—backstage at one of the biggest events I ever planned.
Earpiece buzzing, timelines slipping, a speaker nowhere to be found—I remember thinking: There has to be a better way to do this.
Back then, I was deep in the trenches of corporate event planning. I loved the adrenaline, the people, the creativity. But I also carried the weight. Every moving part was mine to manage, and every mishap somehow landed at my feet—even the ones I couldn’t control.
I didn’t need a vendor. I needed a true partner.
That’s what I found at Hosts Global.
The Moment It Clicked
Before I joined the Hosts Global team, I worked with them on a multi-stop incentive program across Europe. I needed a DMC partner I could trust, one with real local expertise and a handle on the unexpected.
What I got was more than logistics. I got strategy, foresight, and support that matched my own standards. Hosts Global’s local partners anticipated issues before they arose. The team offered ideas, not just execution. They cared as much as I did—and that changed everything.
That moment turned my event planner story in a new direction.
When the opportunity came to join Hosts Global as Director of Global Sales, I didn’t hesitate. I wanted to offer that same level of partnership to others like me.
What I Wish I Knew Then
If I could sit down with my younger self—over coffee after a long site visit—I’d say:
-
You don’t have to do it all alone. There are partners out there whose full-time job is to make you look brilliant. Let them.
-
You don’t have to choose between creativity and control. The right DMC partner brings both.
-
You don’t have to gamble on vendors. Hosts Global’s network is deeply vetted, globally trusted, and personally invested in your success.
-
You deserve to be the hero of your event—not just the firefighter.
And that’s what a great DMC partnership should feel like: empowering, not exhausting.
