Advance

Where technical leadership moves forward

Advance: A TD Leadership Forum brings together technical directors and leaders at the forefront of corporate live events for meaningful conversation, collaboration, and connection.

As the role of the Technical Director continues to evolve, so does the need for leaders who can navigate complex productions, emerging technology, demanding stakeholders, and high-performing teams. Advance creates space for the people behind these experiences to step away from the day-to-day and focus on what comes next.

This invitation-only forum is designed for technical leaders from some of the most innovative companies in the country. Together, we’ll explore the challenges shaping our industry, exchange ideas and experiences, and learn from one another about what it takes to lead technical teams and productions at the highest level.

The Format

More than a summit

Advance isn’t about sitting through a series of presentations. It’s about creating an environment where experienced leaders can have candid conversations, challenge conventional thinking, and share what’s actually working.

From leadership and team development to technology, production strategy, and the future of corporate events, the forum is built around the topics that matter most to today’s Technical Directors.

The Vision

The Future of Technical Leadership

The best live experiences don’t happen by accident. They’re built by technical leaders who bring together people, technology, creativity, and strategy to make the impossible feel effortless.
