Washington Festivals and Events Association Annual Conference

As fall settles in, EnJoy is gearing up for a flurry of fabulous nonprofit and corporate events. One upcoming event we’re excited to tell you about is the annual conference for the Washington Festivals and Events Association held this year in Issaquah, Washington from Oct. 9-11.

Martha and I are engaged as featured presenters in the conference, and in addition to hosting the opening reception, facilitating round table discussions, and emceeing the awards ceremony, we’re thrilled to be leading conversations about how fundraisers and events more broadly can be re-imagined and supercharged with meaning!

Our two breakout sessions, “Revamping Live Auctions” and “Why Customization Matters: Celebrating our Clients’ Stories,” will provide us with a chance to connect deeply with the festivals and events community of our region. This is a opportunity for us to guide conversations with industry leaders on the critical “tweaks” that can be made to live events - so that attendees leave feeling more alive and more committed to that organization and community!

As we look at patterns and trends in a post-pandemic event industry, there are incredible opportunities for innovation in how we craft our gatherings. For our part, EnJoy is more committed than ever to bringing joy and connection into our events and helping our clients create experiences that move people, inspire them, and give them a sense of hope.

Over 20 years, EnJoy designed, produced, and hosted nearly 1000 events nationwide and abroad. It’s an honor to be part of this industry and to be part of the WFEA Conference!
