A few weeks ago, we hit pause and got the entire Gotham team together in person.

Same people we talk to every day. Very different energy when you’re in the same room. Good food. A little karaoke. A lot of laughing. Long conversations. And that quiet reminder that the best work always starts with trust and real relationships.

As the year wraps up, we’re carrying that with us. Wishing everyone a holiday that gives you space to unplug, reset, and come back sharp.

Happy Holidays from Team Gotham!

Some companies hand new hires a laptop and a login. At Gotham, there’s also a book:

“How to Win Friends and Influence People” by Dale Carnegie.

It’s been part of how this company operates since day one. Not as a “nice-to-have,” but as a shared language for how we work with people. Clients. Partners. Each other. Sales conversations. Hard moments. Negotiations.

The principles still show up everywhere. Yes, it’s old. Yes, some of the wording feels dated. And yes, it still works.

Because when you understand people better, the business side takes care of itself.

Most leaders don’t struggle with strategy. They struggle with what’s happening in their own heads. That’s where Dr. Andrea Hollingsworth changes the game.

She teaches rooms full of executives how to stop white-knuckling their way through uncertainty and instead lead from a place that’s calm, grounded, and actually sustainable.

Not theory. Not clichés. Actual tools that help leaders differentiate between what’s theirs to carry and what isn’t.

And when Andrea guides a room, something shifts. People exhale. Shoulders drop. Leaders remember they’re human first… and that clarity is something you can train, not wait for.

If your 2026 event needs a speaker who can quiet the noise, strengthen emotional resilience, and send people back to their teams more centered than they arrived, Andrea is the one. Bring Dr. Andrea Hollingsworth to your 2026 stage.

Your leaders will walk out steadier, sharper, and better equipped for what’s next.

What’s the worst news you can get backstage? Your headliner isn’t in the building… yet.

It happens. Flights get delayed. Weather turns, someone’s “five minutes out” for thirty minutes. But here’s the thing most planners won’t admit out loud: The real panic isn’t the artist. It’s the dead air.

That’s where Ben, our neighborhood-friendly music agent, steps in with the playbook you wish you had before things got weird. He’s talking real fixes. Not “turn the Spotify playlist up a little louder.” Actual, save-the-show moves that keep the room alive when time isn’t on your side.

Because great events aren’t just about who’s on stage. They’re about what you do in the ten minutes where everything goes sideways. Watch the reel, steal a trick or two, and breathe easier the next time a plane lands late.

If you want a music partner who knows how to keep the show moving, even when your run of show doesn’t, explore the world of Gotham Music for your next event!

If your team is heading into 2026 running on fumes, here’s the reset they actually need. 👇

Shola Richards has this way of turning something as ordinary as a hectic day, a small mess, or a harsh inner voice into a lesson that hits people right where they live.

His message is simple and disarming: Most cultures don’t break because people are unkind to each other. They break because people are unkind to themselves. And when Shola walks on stage, he doesn’t shame, lecture, or push toxic positivity.

He models humanity. He offers language people can finally breathe in. And somehow, he gets entire rooms to soften, then stand a little taller.

If you want your Q1 2026 event to set the tone for the year, grounded, energized, and rooted in real psychological safety, Shola is the one you bring in.

Bring him to your 2026 stage. Your people will thank you long after the keynote ends.

There’s a lot of noise in this industry. Our job is to stay allergic to the wrong kind.

Alec’s formula keeps us focused on the work that moves the needle. The speakers who elevate the room, the partners who think long-term, and the opportunities that actually match the company we’re building. It’s not complicated. Just disciplined.

And very Gotham. It’s how we plan to keep raising the bar in 2026.

So, if you’re building a stage, a lineup, or a moment next year, we’d love to help you get it right.

Talking about joy in Q4 feels… out of place.

Budgets are closing. Teams are stretched. Everyone’s juggling deadlines, holiday plans, and whatever fire popped up this morning. Which is exactly why Shabnam Mogharabi’s message lands so hard right now.

While the world feels noisy and heavy, she reminds people that joy isn’t soft. It’s strategic. It fuels resilience. It sharpens connection. It changes how teams show up when the pressure peaks.

Shabnam doesn’t come in with fluff. She brings the perspective of a CEO who built SoulPancake on stories that move people and understands that real transformation starts with what strengthens us, not what drains us.

As organizations head into the year-end sprint and start shaping their 2026 programming, this is the kind of voice that resets the room and gives people something real to hold onto.

If your team needs a speaker who can cut through the chaos and reconnect people to meaning, Shabnam’s your person. And now’s the time to secure 2026 dates.

Before everyone scatters into airports, grocery stores, and full-tilt Thanksgiving mode…

We just want to say thank you.

To the speakers and entertainers who trust us with their stories, their craft, and their calendars: you make stages feel alive. To the event planners and partners who come to us with big visions (and even bigger timelines: thanks for letting us help you pull off the impossible, again and again. To the clients who keep choosing us: your trust is the reason we get to do this work at the level we do it.

And to the Gotham team: leadership, agents, marketing, operations, the people behind the curtain who make every booking, every brief, and every curveball look easy… you’re the reason this place works.

Grateful isn’t a big enough word for what you all bring to the table. Enjoy the break. Eat something great. And if you end up in one of those marathon Thanksgiving conversations… may the stuffing be worth it.

Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at Team Gotham. 🦃✨

Tag someone you’re thankful for below!

P.S. If the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade ever needs a giant microphone float… we’ve got a mock-up ready to go.

Some emcees keep the agenda moving. Eva Saha moves the room.

If you’ve ever watched her work a stage, you know the difference immediately. Eva isn’t reading lines. She’s reading people.

She’s the one who catches the mic issue before it becomes a problem, pulls CEOs into real conversation instead of scripted talking points, and makes thousands of attendees feel like they’re part of something, not just sitting through something.

Brands bring her back year after year because she anchors the energy, elevates the message, and handles the unpredictable with zero panic and total grace.

Panels run smoother. Executives feel supported. Audiences stay engaged, even in the tough transitions no one plans for.

In a world where events have to do more than impress - they have to connect - Eva is the person you want steering that ship.

2026 is already shaping up to be busy. So if you want an event that feels alive, aligned, and actually memorable, lock Eva in now!
