Meet the creator
erik shepner
I created SEED in 2016, and its big brother SEED Events in 2022, though its roots extend back to 2010 when I first entered the live event space. I have built several companies in my 16 years within the industry. Originating in the services and rentals sector, I have expanded into staffing, logistics, and management, coordinating at the highest level at marquee events.
My vision, both creative and pragmatic, guides my path through the often chaotic and high intensity environments. I am in my element when the stakes are high, and I am operating at scale. My understanding of people, and my ability to lead are my key operational assets, with them I am able to coordinate large internal teams coupled with a multitude of exterior vendors to pull off sizable operations facilitating tens and hundreds of thousands of attendees.
I have a home, a loving wife, and two beautiful daughters. I am committed and focused on providing for my loved ones while building an iconic and revolutionary brand.
