Events may only last a few hours — but the impact can last for years.

In this episode of Elite Insights, we sit down with Deci Evans, founder of Kind + Co Events, a Seattle-based event management company known for producing thoughtful, community-centered experiences for nonprofits and organizations across the region.

Deci shares the story behind her journey from volunteer event organizer to running a professional event company — and what it really takes to create meaningful gatherings that inspire people to connect, give, and support important causes.

In this conversation, you’ll learn:

• Why guest experience is critical to successful fundraising events

• The behind-the-scenes work that makes great events possible

• How organizations can avoid burnout by partnering with event professionals

• The role of collaboration between planners, AV teams, and organizations
