Who’s leading the crew?
GET started in 2009 with one goal: to rethink how events get done. Jon Summersfield and Katharine Hayes, both industry veterans in the meetings world, together built a team that could plan smarter, pivot faster and deliver bigger — all without missing a beat.
Each has more than 30 years of strategic meeting expertise and a drive for excellence that helped shape GET into a global force.
Together with industry leaders Shonna Wells and Diana Mainieri, they’ve created a powerhouse team that knows how to make even the most complex programs feel effortless.
Their leadership philosophy? Stay close, stay curious, and stay involved — from the first idea to the final applause.
