Greater Seattle Area Chapter - NACE

What if every design choice at your event had a purpose? ✨

At Seattle NACE’s October meeting, Avery Young of BBJ La Tavola BBJ La Tavola and Jana Heinrichs of will take us through the decades of event design—and bring the conversation to what matters today: how design shapes the way guests feel, move, and remember.

Avery brings nearly 20 years of experience as a professional circus aerialist, where precision, timing, and reading a room were part of every performance. Jana brings more than 10 years in the events industry, helping turn spaces into memorable experiences.

From the first save-the-date to the final farewell, you’ll learn how color, layout, and flow can guide the guest journey—and how to collaborate with vendors as design partners.

Because a beautiful event catches your eye. A thoughtfully designed one stays with you.
