Event Enablement Academy

For the People Behind the Experience

Event Enablement Academy is a 6-week live certification designed to help the people on your team build stronger production judgment, practical skills, and the confidence to manage corporate events more independently. Give them access to decades of event expertise, without making you their only training resource.

How Much Is Your Time Worth?

Training a team member in event production takes countless hours and a whole lot of energy,
It takes time to teach what questions to ask, how to review budgets and contracts, explain vendor decisions, flag risks, correct missed details, and transfer the years of knowledge you have built through experience. That time adds up quickly.

Event Enablement Academy gives your dedicated team member a structured foundation in event production, taught live by professionals who have spent decades doing the work. They gain another trusted resource for their questions, practical frameworks they can return to, and a clearer understanding of how experienced producers approach decisions.

The result is a more capable team member who can move the work forward with less foundational training from you.

THE INVESTMENT: $1,000 PER PARTICIPANT

An $1,800 value.
Less than the cost of a few hours of senior-level consulting. Designed to save many more hours of internal training.

What They’ll Walk Away With

In 6 weeks, your team member will build a working foundation across the six areas that shape a professionally run corporate event.

Week 1: Production Management + Budgeting

What They’ll Learn → How to structure an event plan, connect scope to cost, and build a budget that supports better decisions.

Week 2: Contracts + Negotiating

What They’ll Learn → How to read vendor contracts for common risk points, compare vendor options, and prepare for negotiation conversations.

Week 3: Environmental Design

What They’ll Learn → How to plan spaces around guest flow, signage, staging, brand presence, and atmosphere. 

Week 4: Audio / Visual

What They’ll Learn → How to use basic A/V language, review technical plans, and support smoother show flow.

Week 5: Food + Beverage

What They’ll Learn → How to choose service styles, plan for dietary inclusion, and explain hospitality choices through guest experience, budget, and timing.

Week 6: Safety

What They’ll Learn → How to identify credible risks, organize them clearly, and prepare contingency plans before show day.

By the end, they’ll have a working portfolio of event production artifacts and the language and judgment to back them up in any room.

How It Works

Live, structured, and built around real event work.

Two 90-minute sessions per week, Tuesday and Thursday. Cameras on. Breakout rooms. Real case studies. Your team member will work through production decisions alongside their cohort in the same practical way event teams work through them in the field

Expert-led.

Every module includes insight from reputable senior professionals in each discipline, including technical directors, chefs, catering leaders, executive producers, award-winning lawyers, designers, creative producers, and business owners. You’ll hear how decisions get made when budgets, timelines, contracts, vendors, and guest experience are all in motion.

Built by practitioners.

The curriculum was developed by Bash Creative’s event strategy and production team. Your instructor, Tome, brings 26 years of experience directing national campaigns for Disney, Subaru, Comcast, the Olympics, and Universal Destinations. Paired with a deep roster of industry leaders as guest speakers, you will get to learn from the folks who have done the work! 

Portfolio-ready.

Each week includes practical exercises tied to real production decisions. Your portfolio will show the planning logic behind your work and give you tools you can reference on future events.

Testimonials

  • These classes were so helpful, not only to learn from Tome, but also to hear from Annalee and everyone she interviewed, so that we could have some real life examples of other professionals in AV and Food and Beverage, to hear about their experiences and learn from them to take what they said and combine it with what Tome taught us to use in the real world moving forward.

  • I actually started working for an innovation company that is having a summer camp and they asked me to coordinate the AV stuff. I was able to list everything that we would need because of these classes.

    EEA gave me more tools in my toolkit that supports how to be proactive in attacking issues before they become issues.

  • The classes gave me a better idea of what questions to ask, what details to look out for, and how different parts of an event connect.

    The Academy provided a framework… for what to do and what questions to ask in order to produce a successful event.
