What distinguishes a great event marketer from a good one is their strategic thinking and intentionality towards their brand's narrative. 

Great event marketers tailor their messaging to fit each specific event, rather than relying on a single message that has worked in the past for multiple events. They go above and beyond a "good enough" mindset and put in the necessary effort, ultimately achieving exceptional results.

It's not every day you come across individuals who think on a different level, and Tavar James is certainly one of them. 

When Matt Kleinrock, CEO of Rockway Exhibits + Events, had a conversation with James as the Global Head of Events & Sponsorships at Riskified, he was blown away by the thought-provoking dialogue. 

Not one to be held back by the odds stacked against him, Tavar's inspirational rise to the top from the hospitality industry to events, as a minority, only fueled his passion to, in his own words... “bring people together in creative and strategic ways to engage and amplify a brand's message...whatever that message may be."

On this episode of "Event Marketing: Redefined," they discuss:

- How he moved up the ranks as a minority in event marketing
- Asking the right questions to get promoted
- What to do when you’re worried about cuts to your event budget
- What it takes to be a successful event marketer in today's industry
- And much more!

Any event marketer who wants to understand and navigate the upcoming challenges and opportunities should definitely watch or listen to this conversation.
