The event marketing industry has always attracted bold thinkers—people who recognize the power that face-to-face connection has to build lasting relationships and loyalty. They cultivate an idea and nurture it to its greatest potential. They strategize for rapidly evolving audience and business needs. They take risks that create moments that matter.
We’ve spent that the past few months scouring the industry for the practitioners making the biggest impact this year. And today, we unveil the 2025 Watchlist—a collective of brand-side event marketers who are helping to drive the future of experiential marketing.
Created with leading experiential marketing agency Proscenium, the Watchlist is agnostic of age, title, tenure or level. From department bosses to rising stars, creatives to strategists, big spenders to small-budget warriors, b-to-c and b-to-b—hundreds were nominated and today you see who made it.
From new faces to some familiar ones, let’s meet the marketers influencing the industry’s next chapter. And be sure to look out for our LinkedIn Live conversations with some of the honorees in the coming weeks.
