Meet our show makers

Behind every live RX event is a team of extraordinary operations and logistics specialists who are responsible for imagining and then creating the physical spaces where our customers connect, and magic happens. Without them, our shows simply couldn’t go on. We asked some of our ops team to tell us why they love their job, and to share some memorable moments.
