About Us
ConnectSeven was created in 2016 with a specialized focus on using events and tourism to create change. As leaders in regenerative tourism and events, we help destinations, businesses, and event organizers design successful experiences and strategies that leave a lasting positive impact and enhance business performance.
Our Story
ConnectSeven began when Emma Parston and Alexis Kereluk realized they shared the same ambition: to build a company rooted in purpose. With backgrounds in tourism, consulting, and event management, they saw the potential to bring strategy and execution together, pairing expert planning with well-crafted experiences that genuinely serve people and places.
The name came from that idea of connection. Connecting people. Connecting places. Connecting smart thinking with great experiences. 'Seven' nods to the seven continents and the global reach of the industry. The stamp-inspired logo, with a subtle seven woven into it, reflects the imprint that events and tourism can leave behind.
What began as a conversation turned into a company grounded in purpose, partnership, and the simple truth that events and tourism have real-world impact.
“We believed tourism and events could be a force for good, if they were designed with intention.”
