Speakers

Tom Walton

Producer

After 25 years in the industry, Tom has worn a lot of hats. Thing is, most of them fit really well. He’ll help you book a Santy Claus for your holiday party or negotiate a seven-figure deal for a headline artist to entertain your guests. Like most people, he learned to write in the 2nd Grade; unlike most people, he’s spent considerable time since then honing his craft. And he’s adept at producing events – whether live or, as he likes to say (and so he does), “plausibly” live. The only word not in his vocabulary? “No.” If you need something, he’ll figure a way to get it done.
