Episode 5: Entertainment Wants Your Corporate Event: Live music, venues, and the corporate opportunity

Corporate events are borrowing more from the concert world every year. Andrew Nugent welcomes Gillian Stockard (Director of Sales, NE Amphitheaters, Live Nation), Chris Murray (Account Executive, Stagedge), David Balsom (Senior Account Executive, CK Communications Group), and Joseph Fanning (Production Manager, Institute of Contemporary Art Boston). The panel breaks down how to manage talent as a corporate planner (a world most corporate folks have never operated in), matching the entertainment format to the venue for real impact, the shift away from hotel ballrooms toward bespoke, engagement-driven spaces, and how networking changes when entertainment becomes the centerpiece of the event. Presented by Stagedge: where live entertainment meets the corporate world.
