Enablement

For the People Who Make the Magic Happen Behind the Scenes

Event Enablement Academy is a 6-week live certification in corporate event production — covering planning, contracts, design, A/V, hospitality, and safety. Built by the team behind events for Google, Netflix, Figma, and 100+ more.

The Problem

You got the assignment. Maybe it’s a leadership summit, a client dinner, a product launch, or an all-hands with a half-million-dollar budget. You’re smart. You’re capable. But nobody taught you how to produce an event.

You’re Googling “what does A/V even stand for,” hoping the caterer knows what they’re doing, and praying the contract you signed doesn’t come back to bite you.

You’re not bad at your job. You just never got trained for this part of it.

What You’ll Walk Away With

In 6 weeks, go from figuring it out to running it like a professional.

Week 1 — Production Management + Budgeting

What you’ll learn: How to structure an event plan, connect scope to cost, and stop guessing.
What you’ll build: A production toolkit: event brief, starter budget, and run-of-show.

Week 2 — Contracts + Negotiating

What you’ll learn: How to read vendor contracts, spot red flags, and negotiate with confidence.
What you’ll build: A vendor comparison memo and negotiation approach sheet.

Week 3 — Environmental Design

What you’ll learn: How to design spaces that work — guest flow, signage, staging, and atmosphere.
What you’ll build: An environmental concept board with floorplan rationale.

Week 4 — Audio / Visual

What you’ll learn: How to speak A/V, review a technical plan, and support smooth show flow.
What you’ll build: An A/V critique with revised cue outline.

Week 5 — Food + Beverage

What you’ll learn: How to choose service styles, plan for dietary inclusion, and justify hospitality decisions.
What you’ll build: An F&B recommendation memo and hospitality timeline.

Week 6 — Safety

What you’ll learn: How to identify risk, build a register, and create contingency plans before show day.
What you’ll build: A risk register and contingency plan.

By the end, you’ll have a professional portfolio of event production artifacts — and the language and judgment to back them up.

How It Works

This is not another online course you’ll never finish.

Live and interactive

Two 90-minute sessions per week, Tuesday and Thursday. Cameras on. Breakout rooms. Real case studies. You’ll work through problems with your classmates the way production teams do in the real world.

Expert-led

Every module includes video interviews with working professionals — A/V directors, catering leaders, senior producers — so you’re learning how decisions actually get made, not just what the textbook says.

Portfolio-ready

Every week you produce a real deliverable. By Week 6, you’ll have a body of work you can bring to an interview, show a manager, or use on your next event.

Built by practitioners

The curriculum was developed by Bash Creative, a large-scale event production company with clients including Google, Netflix, Figma, and Robinhood. Your instructor has 26 years of experience directing national campaigns for Disney, Subaru, Comcast, the Olympics, and Universal Destinations.

Certified

The pinnacle of the training will be a certification achieved by a pass/fail test at the end of the course.

Why This Cohort Is Different

This is the founding cohort. You’re not just attending — you’re shaping what comes next.
We’re opening the Event Enablement Academy to a small group of 40 people before we go to market. This cohort is invitation-only, and it includes:

  • Bash employees deepening their production expertise
  • University partners from Cal Poly and UNLV getting early access
  • Industry experts who helped build the curriculum
  • Select professionals and clients nominated by our network

As a founding participant, your feedback directly shapes how the Academy is delivered to future cohorts. You’ll experience the full 6-week certification before anyone else — and your voice will be part of how we refine it.
This is not a beta test. The curriculum is complete. The expert interviews are ready. The case studies are built. What we’re refining is the experience of delivering it — and we want the right people in the room to help us do that.
