✨ We were proud to partner with Kent State University's Hospitality and Event Management Program for this year’s Design Challenge, where students showcased how a single table setting can establish a theme, set a mood, and bring an event vision to life.
This hands-on competition gave students the opportunity to explore creativity, design principles, and real-world event ex*****on—and their talent, passion, and fresh ideas truly impressed us!
A big shout-out to our team members, Caitlin (Kent State University Hospitality Management Advisory Board Member) and Matt for serving as judges and mentors, sharing their expertise on the rental industry, hospitality management, and their roles at Event Source.
Special thanks to Joe from Joe Mineo Creative, who served as master of ceremonies, judge, and mentor, providing invaluable insights and encouragement to all the contestants.
We’re honored to support the next generation of event professionals and can’t wait to see where their creativity takes them next.
