WE TRACK DOWN JULIE IN BETWEEN EVENTS TO GET A LITTLE TASTE OF WHAT’S TO COME.

Who is your industry icon? Ikram. She has superb style and remarkable taste. She’s a trendsetter and I draw a great deal of inspiration from her.

What can you not leave home without? Fresh ground flax seeds. I’m on a holistic health kick!

What’s your weakness? Chocolate cake from Portillo’s.

What’s your personal motto? You’re only as good as your last event and most recent media placement.

Any best kept secrets for your industry? Everything is negotiable. Best advice? Build it and they will come. You just have to do the activity daily by living it, creating it and a being a student of your industry.

If you were not an event marketer, you’d be: A dog trainer. If I could, I’d own more than one.
