Dave Wagner co-founded GoGather in 2008 and has spent over 30 years working across nearly every corner of the events and hospitality world, from roles at Vision Event Productions and Premier Productions to hotel brands like Starwood, La Quinta Resort, and Wyndham. That range gives him a real understanding of how venues think and where clients tend to overpay in contracts. Dave enjoys writing about venue strategy, sourcing, procurement, and cost control.
