Work withTenessa

After working with her on dozens of events for over a decade, I can confidently say: There is only one Tenessa. She does what it takes to deliver a stellar experience for everyone, whether it’s attendees, sponsors, speakers, or staff. After having her run your conference, you’ll wonder what you ever did without her in the first place.

When I need an event partner who meets my standards, Tenessa is the first person I call. Her creative problem solving and customer service mean I know my clients are in good hands. On-site, she listens to every attendee to make sure each person feels welcome and special. She also knows how to get the most out of a budget, and she is committed to your success as a client.

Tenessa has a sharp eye for the kinds of content conference attendees need and want, and she is adept at elevating ideas into rich concepts and programming that informs, educates, and delights. She’s a champion for diversity, equity, and inclusion, always willing to create the space for important, human-centered conversations that challenge us. She’s the person who does the invisible work that makes events successful, and she does it all with an empathetic ear and deft touch. You want Tenessa on your side. Everything at your event will be better because of it.

I’ve had the pleasure of partnering with Tenessa at several events over the past 10 years. From setting a clear vision and strategy to executing on editorial, marketing, communications, speaker selection, and show-running, Tenessa is a consummate professional and warm, thoughtful leader. Through solid systems and interpersonal magic, Tenessa makes sure everything’s on time, on plan, and on brand. It’s no secret that she’s planned and built the most inclusive and successful events in my industry—and she can do the same for yours.

Jonathon Colman

Senior Design Manager, HubSpot

I’ve known Tenessa for more than 10 years, and she is a complete delight. She works tirelessly to make sure events are appropriate for the community they serve, and she never hesitates to answer questions or provide more detail. She is kind and efficient and everyone who knows her falls madly in love with her personality and skills.

Founder, Aha Media Group

I’ve been both an attendee and speaker at several Confab events for close to a decade, and Tenessa’s attention to detail, coordination wizardry, and ability to find quality humans and amplify them was unmatched. If she were organizing a conference about basket-weaving, I’d probably attend, because there’s no doubt it’d be the best basket-weaving conference ever organized.
