Ben Lockwood has been working in event technology for the past two decades as both an event planner and vendor; facilitating the AV/IT needs of hundreds of events— small and large, domestic and international. A firm believer that "working hard" should coexist with "working happily," his favorite activity is helping leaders boost staff morale and preventing event professionals from getting burnt out. In addition to event tech consulting, his working hours are filled with speaking engagements, stress/anxiety-reduction workshops, and stand-up comedy. When off the stage, Ben can usually be found by following the trail of adult-sized Heelys.
