Don is a 30-year veteran of media and advertising strategy, marketing and business development. He was also an event organizer for several advertising and technology conferences around the globe. Within this period, Don led an $18M digital marketing conference franchise while also launching several new business units. A native of Atlanta, Don relocated to the Bay Area nearly 30 years ago to build a life with his wife, Michelle, and 2 boys, Jackson and Ian — “Other than being too crowded and too expensive, I love this place!” In his spare time, Don enjoys collecting vintage hi-fi gear, shopping for vinyl and risking it all on the weekends exploring trails on his dirt bike. Warren has 25+ years of B2B media experience, including 20 years of event experience, bringing together executives, agencies, tech and service providers, entrepreneurs, press, and corporate communications and audience development team members to help foster B2B and B2C communities at in-person and virtual events, as well as in print and online. Warren holds a bachelor’s degree in Technical Journalism from Colorado State University. As a native to Colorado, he enjoys spending time in the mountains, nature and wildlife photography, and fostering rescue kittens from the Navajo Nation. He lives with his veterinarian partner and two kids in northern Colorado. The Team
