“fête Los Angeles is more than a networking group, it’s a family--an industry family that goes above and beyond to make everyone feel welcomed, heard, valued, and supported. There are other event networking groups, yet none of them come close to the opportunities, colleagues, partners, and friends I’ve met through fête. In fact, a significant amount of our business comes either directly or via referral from partners I’ve met here. Over the years, Unifier Entertainment has showcased at their events many times, and in one recent partnership, we gained 40 new IG followers and 4 new event leads overnight. fête works.”

“fête Los Angeles has played a crucial role in helping us build an invaluable network of industry colleagues and friends. The group allows our events industry to share, learn, and most importantly connect with one another in a way that is much more impactful than your typical networking mixer. They are built on a foundation of unity and to this day, I have not experienced a stronger, more tight knit community than this one. If you've never been to a fête event, I strongly urge you to attend and meet all of us. It's a game changer.”

THE ONE UP GROUP

“I recently started as an account executive at one of the world’s largest AV firms and one of my first marketing initiatives was to showcase with fête Los Angeles. This substantial investment and my status as a new employee made this a big opportunity. Within a week, I delivered over $100K in quotes to event attendees that saw and experienced our showcase of the product. fête Los Angeles members are supportive beyond measure and this is a community that pays it forward exponentially. It heartens me that this group exists and that I’m fortunate enough to be a small part of it. I owe a huge debt of gratitude to the wonderful leadership team for fostering this culture of support and collaboration that has become a pillar in my professional evolution. ”
