Global Events Collective

The Global Events Collective is a non-profit organization, formed by a team of event professionals from around the world.

Our aim is to create a global community to share ideas, knowledge, research, and perspectives – all with the goal of promoting the understanding that events and hospitality foster human connection. This podcast is the first step towards creating a documentary, Moments That Matter, that will follow explore & reveal stories about life-changing moments, moments of transformation, and moments that have created communities. This documentary will highlight and remind people that these life-changing moments exist because of events.

Planned human gatherings are where we compete, celebrate, commiserate, learn, do business, admire artistic expressions and, most important of all, connect with each other. We want to explore the impact of events on people’s lives. To explore these moments that matter, we are working towards a big picture project – a documentary. In the meantime, we wanted to host open conversations through a podcast – Creating Moments That Matter. This podcast will allow us to explore life-changing moments created by conference/event attendees. This podcast will allow to us deep-dive into individuals stories, and revel stories about life-changing moments, moments of transformation and moments that have created communities. Not just another event industry podcast, rather one that brings in those that attend our events. We want to bring awareness to the impact our industry has on people and why creating events is so important.
