About Blake Young

With over 8 years of event and engagement marketing experience I’ve worked with many Fortune 500 companies and Music Festivals with over attendees. I have various senior event manager level experience roles under my belt from a being Lead Project Manager for events with over $2 Million to Production/Operations Director for major music festivals, but always willing to support my team at any level. With a diverse event portfolio working on music festivals, galas, tradeshows, experiential marketing, tours, and immersive experiences there isn’t an event that my knowledge and skills along with my passion, dedication, vision, creativity and experience can’t accomplish.
