About Julieanna Gray-Stipek

I’ve spent more than a decade creating live experiences that bring people, brands and big ideas together. From intimate executive gatherings to global conferences with 10,000+ attendees, I’ve led the strategy, creative direction and production behind experiences for Forbes, Fortune and around the world.

I’m at my best when there's an opportunity to challenge how something has always been done and find a way to make it more thoughtful, memorable and valuable to the people in the room.

No event is a solo act

My favorite part of leadership is building teams that are trusted to think, challenge and solve. I’ve led internal teams and global networks of agencies, venues, production companies and creative partners through complex events where collaboration matters as much as execution.
