What are today’s event organizers looking for – and where are they headed next?

Part 2 of the Event Organizer Shark Tank opens with a conversation between Kerri Shields and The Playeasy Platform Company CEO Sean Flaherty, unpacking two new tools built directly from feedback at the 2026 Playeasy Innovators Summit: the Event Experience Network, which lets organizers activate visitor experiences everywhere they host, and an upgraded Economic Impact Calculator that turns real engagement data into a report destinations can act on.

From there, Kerri sits down with leaders from the American Junior Golf Association, Ann’s Angels Adaptive Waterski Foundation, the NCAA, Prep Network, MARS/Turf Wars, USA Table Tennis, Big Bear Tournaments, and the National Wheelchair Basketball Association for a series of conversations about their organizations, their growth, and what’s next.

From junior golf and adaptive water skiing to NCAA championships, multi-sport showcases, adult kickball, table tennis, youth hockey, and wheelchair basketball, each organization shares how their events are growing, what they need from future host destinations, and why partnership – not just facilities – decides who they come back to.

Part 2 closes out the Shark Tank series with a direct look at what it takes to become a destination these organizations want to build with long-term.
