ENGAGE360 was founded in January 2024 by Ron Slucker and Brandon Hannon with a simple belief that corporate and nonprofit events weren’t being done big enough.

 

With decades of combined experience at the highest levels of live events, the two saw an opportunity to raise the bar.

 

Ron spent 17 years building and leading one of Chicago’s most successful event planning firms, overseeing nearly $100 million in annual corporate events and more than $50 million in nonprofit fundraising experiences each year. Brandon brings a different edge—transitioning from a professional athletic background into the events world while traveling nationwide with the Monster Energy events team, producing high-impact, brand-driven experiences.

 

Together, they built ENGAGE360 to do more than plan events. They built it to create moments, amplify brands, and deliver experiences that actually move people and drive revenue. Backed by a hands-on team and a relentless attention to detail, ENGAGE360 exists to push the events industry forward—bigger, smarter, and more impactful than ever before.
