We are founded by this ball of fire named Dahlia.

Dahlia El Gazzar founded the agency after working with tech companies and event industry trailblazers awoke her to the need for speed – for closing the gap between great tech and adoption.

She has an OMG-attitude about all things tech, audience engagement + event marketing. With more than a decade of event experience on both the professional planning side and as an association collaborator, Dahlia’s kinship with the industry and the audience is deep.

Dahlia is known as the coffee-fuelled go-to source for trend-setting solutions, eventtech news, event marketing, + social media expertise.

She thrives on netweaving, knows everyone, + she’s always thinking of new ideas.
