Meet our Founder
Emily Murnen founded Wild Elm Events in 2016 in order to bring community and connection to the forefront of events. Her event experience spans from a 10-person retreat for a business coach to a 1,000 person corporate conference, and everything in between. Her days are now filled with logistics, sales, and putting her 15 years of corporate and nonprofit event planning & strategy to work. When she’s not helping businesses create incredible live and virtual events, you might find her enjoying a game night with friends (pre-pandemic), out on an adventure with her two kids, or drinking tea while reading a book on her couch in Portland, Oregon.
