Too many events still rely on the same booths, the same activations, and the same “safe” playbook. The result: experiences people walk past, forget, or never meaningfully engage with in the first place.  

Ashley Nuske, Director of Field & Event Marketing at Goldcast (now Cvent), joins Matt Kleinrock for a candid conversation about what’s broken in event marketing today and why safe strategies rarely produce standout results. 

Ashley shares how she approaches audience-first event design, builds experiences around business outcomes instead of assumptions, and pushes teams beyond repetitive execution. The episode explores everything from creative field event concepts to executive buy-in, experiential trends, and why immersive experiences matter even more in an AI-saturated world. 

Learn: 

✅ What stale event execution actually looks like in today’s market

✅ How thoughtful personalization creates stronger audience connection and recall

✅ Why event marketers need market awareness, not just internal opinions, to innovate

Tune in for a practical conversation on how modern event marketers can create experiences people actually remember and results leadership can actually measure.
