Jumpstarting Careers in Brand Events

The partnership between LEO Events and the University of Tennessee Knoxville was the result of an alumni listening tour during which university leaders spoke with various College of Communication and Information alumni, including LEO Principal, Cindy Brewer. Productive discussions uncovered a glaring need: hands-on experiential learning opportunities for students in corporate event management. And so, the LEO Fellows Program was born. The program highlights opportunities in experiential marketing while allowing our team to have a hand in educating and mentoring young talent as they come up in the industry. In turn, we widen our circle and strengthen our work force.

A Hands-On Apprenticeship 

LEO Fellows is an exclusive, experiential one-year apprenticeship program with the University of Tennessee Knoxville through which students develop the skills it takes to effectively plan, execute, promote, and produce corporate events through hands-on training.
