🎉 What an incredible experience we had with our NextGen's at SATE NA! We were beyond proud to be able to sponsor nine outstanding NextGen students, thanks to our amazing partners, Electronic Theatre Controls and Warner Bros. Discovery. These talented individuals had the chance to explore Dollywood behind-the-scenes and participated in a hands-on workshop with executives from The Dollywood Company and HERSCHEND ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY, LLC, collaborating on innovative ideas that will inspire future visitors to LOVE EVERY MOMENT® of their experience. A huge thank you to ETC and Warner Brothers Discovery for believing in our NextGen Initiative. Together, we’re shaping the future of our industry and empowering the next generation of creative minds. Let’s keep the momentum going for advocating for our NextGen's at #IAAPA! 🚀💡 #TEANextGen #Innovation #SATE2024 #Dollywood #FutureLeaders

Through the TEA, she was able to meet these connections and turn into collaborations, celebrating the achievements of all members rather than competing against each other.
