The first-ever Eventnoire Curator Summit brought together top industry leaders, creators and innovators recently at 1871 in the Merchandise Mart, solidifying its mission to uplift Black communities and revolutionize the experience economy.

Organized by Eventnoire, a platform celebrated for elevating culture and advancing Black businesses, the summit highlighted the power of collaboration, innovation, and strategic partnerships in experiential marketing and event production. The event also marked the debut of Eventnoire’s recently announced partnership with Pronghorn, aimed at transforming the global online ticketing landscape.

Other notable participants included Eddie Everette of the Obama Foundation, Ashten Hayes of Remy Cointreau and Scarlett M.

The sessions covered critical topics such as trends in experiential marketing, the integration of technology in event production, and the role of influencer marketing in driving consumer engagement. Attendees gained insights into a rapidly evolving global experience economy valued at $1.8 trillion, where consumers increasingly prioritize curated experiences over material goods.

“As leaders in this space, Eventnoire is proud to support this community and bring thought leaders in this space together for a mastermind event,” said Eventnoire Founder Jeff Osuji.

Karen Civil captivated the audience with her expertise in digital branding and social impact. Panelists like Joshua McDonald of Molson Coors and Marilyn McKeen of SaltShed discussed the intersection of corporate partnerships and cultural relevance.
