From jaw-dropping floral designers to engaging entertainers to fabrication experts who bring pie-in-the-sky ideas to life, these vendors and suppliers may have varied skill sets—but they all prioritize creating memorable, emotion-sparking, and engaging moments for attendees.

About the list: Our Industry Innovators features are compiled by our editorial team using a variety of resources. 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!
