Where the event
experts take
center stage

A weekly podcast that pulls back the curtain on the global events industry — the people, ideas and decisions behind the conferences, summits, festivals and gatherings that drive economies, industries and human connection.

Michael MacLennan, host of The Backdrop

The Show

Every event has a story.
Every expert has a perspective.

This is not a podcast about what happens on stage. It is about everything that happens before, behind and beyond it — candid conversations with some of the industry's most experienced and respected voices.
