Talent.Events.A common purpose.
About the founder
Courtney Stewart is a natural collaborator and longtime industry expert.
She has long dreamed of uniting, not isolating, the executives and decision-makers who shape the talent-event industry.
When we come together, we negotiate better contracts, hold one another accountable, share what works, and elevate the entire industry. Together, we are stronger.

Our focus
Create space for organizers, educators, and industry professionals to exchange perspectives.
Keep preparation, communication, and the performer experience at the center of the conversation.
Explore collaborations that connect complementary expertise, audiences, and ideas.
Who it’s for
The teams creating conventions, showcases, festivals, and other talent-focused experiences.
The professionals preparing performers and helping families navigate their next steps.
The creative, production, venue, and service partners who help bring events to life.
Invitation only. Excellence first.
Membership requires an invitation from Talent Event Alliance, TEA approval, and at least five years of demonstrated excellence. Larger studios must also demonstrate influence in the talent-event field and bring at least 50 performers to events each year.
Meeting these standards does not guarantee an invitation. Every membership is reviewed and approved by Talent Event Alliance.
