Todd Fiscus
Chairman, Creative Director
Todd Events, Dallas, TX
Why do we love parties in tents? Simply put, tents are magical. Something about them feels absolutely special, and they should feel that way. A tent is a room that has been built just for you!
Todd Fiscus finds inspiration in the idea that what starts as a big, white, empty box can be transformed into anything you want it to be, whether it's a barn, a French chateau, a garden party or a modern nightclub. Add the challenge of scale and proportion, and the process gets even more exciting. Todd will explore questions such as, 'What can I do to bring intimacy to the space?' and 'What can I create that feels refined, yet at the same time is exciting and fun?' Learn about some of the tented experiences created by the todd.events team. Each story will leave you inspired and encouraged to pitch a tent!
