Name: Keith Berlin
FSGA Member Company: Toptal
Professional and personal background:
I’ve spent my entire career in events. My experience encompasses everything from setting up the 4×4 test track at the sportsmens’ expo to producing the executive wine reception in Davos. I’ve lead sales and business development, speaker and delegate acquisition, contract negotiations, and logistics for events large and small, public and private.
I see the business of events from all angles. Attendees and sponsors. Buyers and sellers. Speakers and audience members. Producers and participants. At the end of the day, what matters most is that attendees, speakers, and sponsors all walk away and say “Wow!”
Statement of Interest & Vision:
First off, I LOVE sports. Especially football and baseball. I’ve played and/or been a fan my entire life.
Secondly, my entire 30 year career has been in events. I bring a unique perspective to the table: That of both the buyer and seller. I have not seen it all, but I’ve seen more than most. Soup to nuts, sales to logistics.
I humbly request to join the FSGA board with one goal in mind- To make the events better for everyone involved.
