Emerge Events is an event management company founded by Jennifer and Steve Clark in 2011 with their first signature event, the Pine Belt Women’s Expo. Since then Emerge Events has created several signature events and has also collaborated with other businesses and organizations to produce hundreds of events over the years. In 2020, the pandemic brought disruption to the events industry, but through collaboration and connection with fellow event planners around the world, Emerge Events survived and now not only produces events in our local community, but also globally.
Today we continue to create our own signature events, work with businesses and organizations on their event planning needs, collaborate with other event planners, and facilitate event planning workshops, planning retreats, and other opportunities to share knowledge and information with other event professionals.
Jennifer & Steve Clark
Emerge Events empowers businesses, organizations, communities, and fellow event planners to create valuable and successful events. We do this not only as event producers, but also by sharing our event planning knowledge and the knowledge of others, providing insight and tips for anyone planning events, and sharing helpful resources and information.
We work with businesses and organizations to plan and produce valuable and successful events. We specialize in conference and educational-style events, both in-person, virtual and hybrid.
We partner with fellow event planners to increase event production capacity. We can assist during the planning stage and/or during the event, for both in-person and virtual events.
We facilitate event planning workshops, both in-person and virtually, to share information, strengthen the event planning community and the events produced, and connect planners.
We facilitate virtual and in-person event planning retreats where we guide event planners through their entire event with time to work on various components.

Women business owners, kick off each week with a short prayer time! Registration is required, but once you are registered you can come on any Monday you’d like to join! I’d recommend adding it to your calendar and just joining when you can. No video or audio required, you can simply just be there as you are!
