Our goal is to change the world of hospitality, meetings, and events to be truly equitable and inclusive instead of maintaining a status quo that doesn’t work for everyone. Ryan has more than 15 years of experience planning events across the country, and their team has had the honor of partnering with clients including Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, CHANGE Philanthropy, the Carlson School of Management at the University of Minnesota, Funders for LGBTQ Issues, the Bush Foundation, and the Minnesota Super Bowl Host Committee.
