Carrie and her business partner, Marcelo Zolessi, co-founded (CNTV) Convention News Television (CNTV) in 2007 after seeing a need for digital content and live production in the exhibitions and events industry.   Now, the company is considered the gold standard for video content creation.  The stories bring events to life and offer show organizers a new stream of revenue through sponsorships. CNTV partners with SISO, IAEE, PCMA, ECEF, TSNN, and Tradeshow Executive to produce content for their events throughout the year. 

Carrie has an extensive background in broadcast journalism and management.  She spent eleven years at the NBC affiliate in Orlando (WESH-TV).  Now, Carrie is entrenched in the events industry. She recently served as Chair of the IAEE and CEIR Board of Directors and was a finalist for PCMA’s Supplier of the Year in 2017 and 2019.   She volunteers her time and energy to projects that forward the industry, including Legislative Action Day and the Exhibitions Mean Business campaign.
