PANEL SPOTLIGHT: Money, Power & the Event Professional
We’re bringing a bold, unfiltered conversation to the stage at CSE Live! 2026, one that gets real about pricing, profit, and financial power in the events industry.
In this candid, high-impact panel, our speakers will unpack the models, margins, and mindsets that shape how our work is valued, sold, and delivered. Through live audience polling and honest dialogue, we’ll explore the ongoing challenges around pricing disparity, pay equity, and why it’s still so difficult to compare apples to apples when buying and selling event services.
This is a must-attend session for event professionals ready to shift how they think about money, leverage, and long-term success in this business.
You’ll hear from:
@David D'Cruz @savi.av@dwaynerutherford@debonaircorporateevents@mele_x0@the_creativeconnoisseur@lornelevitt@total.ca
Moderated by @doriadamsapple@shutterb.co
Expect practical insights, real talk, and a more empowering approach to building events, and businesses, that are both creatively fulfilling and financially sustainable.

I am NOT a very political person and am sure this post will get some positive and negative comments. I’m fine with it, but wanted to at least help those who don’t know what’s going on, make some educated decisions or at least prompt people to read up and go vote. Our country needs help, and we must all do our part.

Happy Father’s Day to all the pops out there. Thanks to my kids and wife for spoiling me this am.
This one is bitter sweet as it’s the first since our dad passed away.
