We’re speaking at Expo! Expo! 2026! 🎤

What makes an event more than just a place to show up? It’s the connections people make, the ideas they discover, and the experiences that make it worth being there.

Join Fern’s Angela Strahan and industry leaders Evan Cox and Sara Taylor for “Designing Events That Drive Connection & Engagement,” a candid panel discussion exploring how thoughtful design, creative collaboration, and audience insights can create more meaningful event experiences—and how to measure their impact beyond attendance numbers.

📅 Tuesday, November 17 | 1:45–2:45 PM
📍 Learning Zone 2

We look forward to sharing perspectives, learning from fellow event professionals, and exploring how we can design experiences that bring people together.

Olympia Weekend is here! 💪

Every year, the world's best convene at this incredible event and we're excited to partner with the Olympia team to bring this iconic global program to life in Las Vegas.

Fern is delivering across the city: elevating the expo floor, producing the graphics, and making every moment happen for participants, exhibitors, and fans. Our teams have worked closely together to create and experience that reflects the energy and vision of the Olympia brand.

And when it comes to the big stuff, we're right at home. In addition to our teams, Nth Degree is installing some of the most complex structures on the show floor, turning ambitious designs into reality with precision and strength worthy of Olympia Weekend.

Thanks to the entire team for delivering this amazing event. This will be the best Olympia Weekend yet!

What does it take to bring WVC to Music City for the first time? Almost 8,000 veterinary professionals — 60% of them brand new to WVC. Over 400,000 lbs of equipment. And a whole lot of teamwork. 🤠 🎸

Fern served as the event's national general contractor, overseeing the show floor from start to finish. Exhibitors felt the difference, stepping into a fully Fern FlexFrame show 💪 — elevated, turnkey booths built for first-timers and long-time partners alike.

Across three days of continuing education, entertainment, and exhibition, INVNT led event management from top to bottom — production and speaker management, the celebrations and festivals, and every detail that made the event feel like a full Music City experience. 🎉

On the ground, Nth Degree brought the premier labor that built the show from the ground up. And it took the full family of Nth Degree companies — INVNT, Fern, and Nth Degree together — working in lockstep for a seamless inaugural ex*****on.

Proud to have powered the first-ever WVC Nashville alongside Viticus Group and our Nth Degree family. Next stop: Vegas!

Most growing events don't hit a breaking point all at once — it's a few more exhibitors here, a bigger footprint there, one more vendor to keep aligned. On their own, none of it feels like a big deal. Together, it's usually the first sign an event has outgrown how it's being run.

We wrote about what that shift actually looks like — and what tends to change once organizers spot it.

Check it out:

When you need a GC: the signs it’s time for a partner, not just more vendors, what to expect, and the questions to ask first — plus free guide.”

PegaWorld 2026 is a great example of what can happen when the right partners—and the right systems—come together.

One of the biggest transformations on the show floor was the creative use of Fern’s FlexFrame system and turnkey exhibits. Far beyond a standard booth package, FlexFrame was used in unique configurations throughout the Innovation Hub to create polished, branded environments that brought consistency to the experience while offering the flexibility to meet different needs across the space.

And it all came together through one united Nth Degree team. With INVNT at the helm, Nth Degree providing an experienced national labor force, and Fern stepping in for its first year as PegaWorld’s GC, the teams worked as true collaborative partners from planning through onsite ex*****on.

Transitioning an established event to a new GC is a big decision—and one many organizations understandably approach with caution. At PegaWorld, close collaboration, full transparency, fresh thinking, and seamless ex*****on helped make that transition a successful one while delivering a refreshed experience.

Take a look at the full case study to see how FlexFrame, turnkey solutions, creative design, labor, and integrated event support came together at PegaWorld 2026. https://hubs.la/Q04t6q430

A great week at CEMA Summit 2026 — and an even better reminder of how much this industry benefits when smart, creative people come together to share ideas, challenge assumptions, and learn from one another.

Fern’s VP of Creative Services & Strategy, Angela Strahan, joined Amy Gattoni, Lisa Eagleson, Mark Mallchok, and Jennifer King for a packed session exploring a topic worth digging into: Because “they loved it” doesn’t mean it’s a strategy.

The panel brought together different perspectives from across the industry for a candid conversation about the choices we make, how we measure what works, and how we can continue creating more thoughtful, intentional experiences.

Beyond the session, CEMA Summit delivered plenty of great conversations, new ideas, laughs, connections, and inspiration to bring back to the work we do every day.

A big thank you to Angela’s fellow panelists and to CEMA for creating the space for conversations like these. We’re already looking forward to the next one.
