Oui Gather Academy
No Gatekeeping Event & Experience Creation Made Sustainable & Easy.
An 8-week program for people who want to create intimate, meaningful experiences—whether you're adding it to your business strategy, building something purpose-driven, or bringing connection into your workplace.
In 2026, We're Seeing A Major Shift.
People are craving real connection. The kind that only happens when you're in a room with others.
As organizers, I often see people start with amazing ideas, then the attempts to create the concepts fall flat or consistency becomes impossible to maintain.
The biggest challenges?
Where to even begin
How and where to make it happen without feeling overwhelmed
Maintaining momentum after the first event
What if I don’t have an audience yet or how to leverage the one I have?
Events can feel like a lot when it's not in your wheelhouse.
Luckily for Me, It's Like Breathing.
I've been creating experiences and have worked in various parts of the event industry for 20 years.
Like you, I love to host and create gatherings. I love seeing the impact of people coming together and have a tried and true formula that works that I get to share now with you.
Zero gatekeeping, what I know I am passing on to you.
An 8-step process to create memorable, sustainable experiences.

Who This Is Accelerator For?
Entrepreneurs, founder, brand builder, coaches or creators who know in-person experiences should be part of their strategy.
Purpose driven people who want to create community and connection.
For folks in HR, People & Culture, or those who coordinate offsites and want to bring real connection into the workplace.
Maybe you've never run an event before. Maybe you've hosted a few things but can't figure out how to make it sustainable or grow it into something intentional.
Either way this academy is meant to meet you as much as possible where you are. Small intimate group so I can provide the most guidance and support.
Whether you're creating intimate dinners, workshops, wellness gatherings, leadership retreats, or something totally unique, if you want meaningful experiences that create real connection, you're in the right place.
This is the call to bring your people together.

What 2025 Showed Us
(And Why 2026 Is Your Moment)
In 2025, we saw a massive cultural shift. In-person events surged by 40%. Companies realized people were burned out on Zoom and craving real connection. 91% said live experiences made them feel more connected. 72% said intimate events created deeper relationships than big conferences.
Here's what's happening in 2026: People want to be offline more. They want to be in front of real people, in real rooms.
If you can build your own room? You own your network. That's the 2026 version of owning your newsletter list. You're not renting attention on someone else's platform, you're creating a space that's yours.
2025 created the need. 2026 is when you build it.
As you're building, you're going to see a lot of noise. People jumping on the "in-person" trend without strategy. One-off events that have continuum. Burnout.
You need to build to last. That's what this program is about.
Here's one thing that makes events work long-term: It has to tie into something bigger, your business strategy, a cause you care about, or a community you're building. Events take real work. They are like 95% bts logistics and 5% glam, and the way to keep going is to connect it to a larger ecosystem that continually inspires and energizes you.
You have been feeling the pull for a while and now is the opportunity.
Turn your authority into experiences, create community, diversify your strategy and add an income stream.
From here it’s also much easier to have conversations after online. Think about the conversations and collaborations that happen after a shared meal or leadership workshop, GAME CHANGER.
WHAT YOU WILL BE LEARNING
I'll teach you all my best practices from design to selling. How to create a concept that's uniquely yours, memorable experiences and build something sustainable.
You'll walk away with:
✓ Clarity on your concept, why and offer—what you're creating, who it's for, how it fits your bigger strategy
✓ My 8-step formula I've used for 20 years to create memorable experiences. My litmus test is that they walk away wanting more.
✓ The tools I use - templates, budget trackers, checklists, platforms.
✓ How to make it replicable - so every experience has your signature without reinventing the wheel
✓ How to sell it, even with a small audience (I've sold out events starting from zero)
✓ Pricing and budget strategy, including what I call "f*ck yes pricing"
✓ When to partner and when not to.
✓ How to manage logistics
✓ How to host, whether it's 5 people or 50, you'll learn to lead the room and create flow that feels natural
✓ Post-event momentum and review, turning one experience into content, testimonials, and excitement for the next
And you'll launch your first event (or refine your next one) during the program. We're building together, not just learning theory.
