At Modev, we work tirelessly to develop communities for our clients by organizing events that are high value to attendees. Usually, when you attend one of our events, the experience is matched and flawless, but the behind the scenes component is seldomly visible - which is a good indicator of great execution. The beauty of our dynamic at Modev is that we are internally powered by community.

Legos, fully-reclining gaming chairs, remote-controlled ball races, and massive crowds were some must-sees at re:Invent 2017
One of the greatest joys I get from building community is the positive impact it can have on peoples lives. At the end of the day, this is why we exist and why I do what I do. Last week at our Code Writers Workshop in Seattle, I believe we acheived a milestone as the event was cited by many as the most welcoming and inclusive tech event they'd ever attended. See pics here. I'm not sharing this to brag, I'm sharing because it is more clear than ever, that before all else, this has to be my goal as a community leader. Our Code of Conduct has evolved to reflect these values, but our mission hasn't caught up with it, until now. It may seem obvious that this should have been my priority all along, but as a tech event organizer for the past decade, so many other priorities sneak into the top of the heap- content, speakers, sponsors, cool venues, attendee experience, etc. Diversity, inclusion, welcoming environment have always been important, but when running a business and looking at the bottom line, it's easy to get distracted. But now I see it clearly, and I had to get here through experience and allowing others to help guide me.
We're excited to announce that we've entered into a long term agreement for conference advisory services with 8 Meter Media and 8 Meter’s founder and CEO, Bowen Dwelle. Through this relationship, Modev seeks to accelerate growth, drawing on Mr. Dwelle’s experience founding and building AdMonsters, a professional community, media, and conference business serving leaders in online advertising operations.
