Bio
Marcus Berg turned a crazy idea into 10,000 events across 50 countries. EventScale didn't just scale โ it rewrote the playbook for how the world gathers. Y Combinator alum. TechCrunch darling. The Economist called him "the future of events."
He's the founder who shows up, the speaker who makes you believe, and the operator who actually ships. From Eventbrite to building his own empire, Marcus brings the energy of a packed room to every stage he touches.
