It’s harder to protect when the timeline shifts\, the budget changes\, and the stakeholders have opinions. In this curated conversation\, event and marketing pros explore what designing with purpose looks like in practice\, not in theory.\n\nConversation Partners:\nShannen Stewart\, Founder + President\, Heels and Handshakes\nKatie Curry\, Special Events\, Frist Art Museum\nAbby Stevenson-Greiss\, Marketing Strategist and Experiential Leader\, MAS Agency\nJoe Faulder\, Director of Sales and Client Experience\, Projection\n\nConversation Host:\nTonisha Landry\, Immediate Past President\, PCMA Southeast Chapter\n\n\n\n\nMEET OUR PANELISTS\n\n\n  \nKatie Curry\, Special Events\, Frist Art Museum \nKatie Curry is an accomplished events executive with more than 12 years of experience leading corporate\, nonprofit\, and cultural events throughout the Nashville region.

He spent most of his twenties touring the country writing and singing songs to anyone who would listen. But after a two-year battle with a debilitating vocal disease\, Joe changed lanes and found his second calling in the events world. \nHe soon realized that a great event\, like a great song\, taps into an emotional aspect of the human experience. Both are powerful\, generate community\, and are not easily forgotten.
