Julie Roth NovackCEO/Co-FounderParty Slate

Julie is the CEO & Co-Founder of PartySlate, a photo-rich platform that helps leading venues, vendors, and event professionals grow their businesses by attracting new clients, driving industry referrals, and enhancing their digital presence. With over 20 years of digital marketing experience with some of the biggest brands in the world, Julie has brought this rich expertise to the events industry. After she planned 50+ large-scale galas and corporate events, Julie became increasingly frustrated while planning a high-profile cancer research gala, spending hours online looking for ideas and venues, only to find wedding blogs, sterile vendor listing sites, and Pinterest dead-ends.

Since its founding in 2015, over 45,000 of the country’s top event professionals and venues have uploaded over 2 million event photos to their beautiful profile pages.
