At Elevate Global, we’re committed to celebrating the women shaping the future of our industry. As part of our ElevateHER initiative, we’ve launched the Women in Events feature – a spotlight series that shares the journeys, achievements, and impact of women driving change in events.
One of those stories is Katie Meyer, CEO and Director of Events at MoonLab Productions.
Why Katie Meyer Stands Out
Katie’s journey is one of vision, resilience, and innovation. From her early days as an Event Producer to becoming CEO, she has shown a deep commitment to empowering others, championing inclusivity, and redefining what experiential marketing can achieve.
As CEO of MoonLab Productions, Katie has expanded the agency’s global reach and built a culture where creativity, collaboration, and inclusivity thrive. Her leadership has pushed the boundaries of experiential marketing and event production, delivering events that are bold, sustainable, and deeply impactful.
Beyond her professional success, Katie dedicates time to philanthropic initiatives, including annual work with Team Rubicon, a global disaster response organisation, and volunteering with Worthy of Love, which creates birthday celebrations for families experiencing homelessness. These commitments reflect her belief in creating meaningful change both within the events industry and beyond.
Her Journey
Katie’s path at MoonLab began as an Event Producer, where her creativity and strategic thinking quickly stood out. Her adaptability and leadership led to her appointment as CEO in 2024.
Since then, she has:
- Expanded MoonLab’s global footprint with activations across the US, Europe, and the UK.
- Secured partnerships with the MoonLab team across Instacart, TikTok, Tinder, Bloomreach, and Amazon.
- Led the team to onboard a record number of new clients in a single year.
- Seen MoonLab’s work featured in outlets like BizBash, EventMarketer, The Wall Street Journal, and Business Insider.
Katie’s leadership style is defined by compassion, resilience, and foresight. She cultivates trust, encourages innovation, and creates a culture of continuous learning.
Recognition and Industry Impact
In recognition of her leadership, Katie was nominated for the LA Times Executive Leadership Award, which celebrates resilience, growth, and wisdom.
She also took the stage at Event Sustainability Live 2024, championing eco-conscious strategies in event planning – part of her ongoing commitment to shaping a more sustainable future for the industry. Katie is also a member of the Forbes Agency Council, a networking community for senior executives and agency leaders across PR, media strategy, creative, and advertising.
A Defining Moment
One of the clearest examples of Katie’s impact was when MoonLab Productions was named to Event Marketer’s IT List in 2025 – the first time in the agency’s history.
This milestone wasn’t just a reflection of the agency’s bold, innovative work, but also of Katie’s leadership style: empowering her team to take ownership, innovate fearlessly, and bring their best ideas forward. The recognition energised the entire agency and set a new standard for what MoonLab could achieve.
Final Thoughts
Katie Meyer is more than a leader – she is a catalyst for progress and inspiration across the events industry. Her story reflects what the Women in Events feature is all about: raising the profile of women whose contributions are reshaping the industry for the better.
