VENUE & COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS
Great experiences.
Purposeful partnerships.
We create engaging experiences designed to attract customers, increase participation, and help our venue partners grow.
With more than 20 years in corporate leadership, sales, training and operations, I bring a business perspective to every event. We start with what success means to you—whether that’s attracting new customers, encouraging repeat visits or helping residents connect—and build the experience around that goal.
Your goals shape the plan
We discuss your audience, desired turnout and what you want the event to accomplish. Then we choose the format, timing and activities to support those priorities.
Support beyond the microphone
From event concepts and promotional coordination to preparation and hosting, I work with your team to give people a reason to show up, participate and come back.
Success we can review together
We agree on practical measures before the event, such as attendance, participation, guest feedback or sales information you choose to share. Afterward, we review what worked and what to improve.
Start with one event or build a recurring series. Each experience gives us something to learn from as we plan the next.

THE PERSON BEHIND NEXT ERA
Hi, I’m Justin.
Justin Dessert · Founder & Host★ Veteran-owned business
A new chapter.
The same people-first approach.
After more than 20 years in corporate leadership, sales, training, and operations, I started Next Era Network to put that experience to work in a more personal way.
Today, entertainment is a big part of that next chapter: bringing people together through music, shared memories, and a little friendly competition. I also partner with businesses on the people and processes that help them move forward.
As an Army veteran, dad, and local school bus driver, community matters to me. Next Era is built around making real connections—at an event, on a team, and close to home.
LET’S MAKE SOMETHING HAPPEN

your next step.
