Holly Potter-Harvey describes herself as transparent, lively and friendly. Learn more about her.

How I got here:
I started in operations at a venue, quickly moved to props and décor where I designed, developed and operated insane events with the most epic people. From there, I moved to planning with 360 Destination Group, where I get to work in every aspect of this industry for a company that has so much integrity, love and creativity to fill the world with greatness.

Greatest career accomplishment:
I won the President’s Award and Rising Star award in 2019 for TxACOM—Texas Alliance of Convention, Meeting and Event Operation Managers.

Impressive stats:
Over the last three years, I have helped grow the Texas Office for 360 Destination Group over 200%. I am excited to have started here when the only office we had was in Dallas/Fort Worth, and we have added brick-and-mortar offices in San Antonio, Austin and Houston.
