This year's "Fresh Faces" feature is sponsored by Glisser, an award-winning meetings and events platform developed by event industry veterans to go beyond basic video and screen-sharing tech to power inspiring, high-participation events of any size.

If the last two years have taught us anything, it's that the need to gather and connect is more important than ever. And that's certainly a lesson reinforced by the impressive young event professionals on this year's Fresh Faces list who haven't let the pandemic stop them from expanding their skill sets, motivating their peers or even launching innovative new companies.

Through the links below, meet our 2022 class of Fresh Faces and learn how they each got their start, the impact they hope to have on the event industry, the advice they'd give their peers and other insights. We're excited to see this accomplished group of event professionals impacting the industry for years to come.
