“I have attended several A21 events so I know the level in which [Friedman’s] team executes. A21 events always have a mixture of activities but more importantly a diversity of people. Perhaps it’s A21’s demographics of the staff, including the leadership team. Or perhaps it’s the geographic locations of the events. After speaking with Brett Friedman, it’s his overall strategy.”
A deep commitment to people represents the core component to putting on any & all of our live experiences as a company. For us, people are those we partner with, like The Roots Fund and the Pebble Beach Company Foundation, who bring meaning to our ventures. People we honor as talent, like Maneet Chauhan, Keith Corbin and Etinosa Emokpae, who sprinkle in flavor in more ways than one. People on our own roster, like Nathalie Marie Raime, Myah Holmquist, & Victoria Garofalo, who bring visions to life.
To be recognized for this feat at Pebble Beach Food & Wine Festival by Forbes is a distinction we’ve only dreamed of achieving. In its revival this past April, PBFW saw groundbreaking, authentic inclusions of purveyors, partners, and projects from various origins, all of which made the festival’s comeback all the more special, all the more revered, all the more monumental.
Thank you Noel Burgess (Noël B.) for this gem of a feature that we’ll now wear like a badge of honor and hold as a barometer of success for which to surpass in all our future endeavors. And, finally, a very special thank you to our very special internal team who makes it all happen, year after year, event after event.
See you next year, California.
