We put together a practical, month-by-month 2026 event planning timeline that breaks down: • when venue choices really start narrowing • where vendor decisions either stabilise planning or derail it • why some pressure shows up onsite and how to avoid it Take a look and let me us what you think! https://lnkd.in/d_3gr2wP

We’re happy to announce and welcome Heidi Jacobson to our Metavent team as our new SVP of Sales. Heidi brings decades of experience in the event industry, but what stood out to us immediately wasn’t just her background, it was how she shows up. Across roles with Nvision360, L5 Events, Cornerstone, Encore Production, and Freeman, Heidi has helped deliver complex, high-impact events for organizations like Amazon Services, Morgan Stanley, Intel, and the NBPA. She knows this industry inside and out. What really sets Heidi apart is her people-first approach. She’s thoughtful, strategic, and deeply client-focused, with a calm confidence that comes from having seen just about every challenge an event can throw your way. She thrives on the tricky moments and genuinely enjoys turning “this feels impossible” into “we’ve got this.” In her role at Metavent, Heidi will be partnering closely with our clients and our leadership team, supporting existing relationships, exploring new opportunities, and helping us continue to build experiences that truly matter. Welcome, Heidi 👋 We’re thrilled to have her on the team and can’t wait for you to meet her.
