Your mission deserves the same event leadership the big brands get.

Boss Collective® is an event strategy and production consultancy for nonprofits, associations, and mission-driven organizations. You get a senior event leader, without a full-time hire.

Senior leadership that shows up ready.

Boss Collective was founded by Jeanne Dubosse, CMP, its founder and CEO. For 20+ years, she has led events where a lot is on the line: AIA’s global conference, AfroTech, and major tech conferences like Workday Rising, produced with George P. Johnson.

As VP of Live Events at Blavity, Jeanne led AfroTech, an 18,000+ attendee conference, and delivered sponsor activations for 150+ companies with a 65% renewal rate. Before that, she spent eight years at the American Institute of Architects, directing its 26,000+ attendee global conference.”

She has sat at the executive table. She knows how to speak to your board. And she has never needed someone to tell her twice what is at stake.
