Behind the disco-ball energy and champagne sparkle, Neen James is on a mission to prove that luxury is a mindset, not a price tag. In this After Show, Megan Martin and Neen James dig deeper into Exceptional Experiences. What does that mean? It means exploring how to create personalization at scale, giving attendees behind-the-scenes access, and how contagious confidence can elevate your event culture.
They also swap stories about luxury hotel dogs, knife sommeliers, and why hot pink has become Neen’s ultimate power move in every boardroom.
And of course, they get into guilty pleasures, leadership trends that need to die, and how event profs can protect their energy while showing up 100% for clients.
