Collaboration is the backbone of the event industry. Ask any event planner or producer, and they'll tell you they couldn't do what they do without the help of a long list of vendors, ranging from AV experts and fabricators to rental companies and photographers.
In our final Industry Innovators feature of 2022, we're shining a spotlight on those vendors and suppliers who are leaving their mark on live and virtual experiences of all types.

About the list: Our Industry Innovators features are compiled by our editorial team using a variety of resources, beginning with sifting through dozens of public nominations and conducting internal research on all people nominated. The idea is to go beyond the biggest names in the biz—though it has plenty of those too—and dig deep into the industry professionals who are using truly innovative thinking to push the boundaries of live experiences.
If someone has previously been named a BizBash Innovator, they are not eligible for the list. Check out our full Industry Innovators Hall of Fame here, and head here to tell us who should make our future lists!
