meet the founder
Deanna R. Scott, Founder
With over 15 years of experience managing large-scale events and collaborating with world-class brands, I know how crucial it is to have the right partners behind every successful event. From the BET Awards to The Roots Picnic and beyond, I’ve worked behind the scenes coordinating vendors, managing teams, and solving complex logistical challenges.
I created this platform to make it easier for event professionals to discover trusted venues and vendors—not just locally, but across the country. As someone who has managed everything from creative content to contracts, I’ve felt firsthand the need for a centralized, inclusive resource.
We’re committed to spotlighting underrepresented businesses, providing filters to help planners easily find woman-owned, Black-owned, and LGBTQ-owned partners for their events.
Whether you’re a seasoned planner or just starting out, this directory is designed with you—and your clients—in mind.
