Series: From Page to Stage: Jaimé Bennett on Curiosity, Curation, and Turning Ideas Into Action
Episode 4
Thursday, 12 November, 2026

This season has been kindly sponsored by Louisville Tourism. Go to GoToLouisville.com/meet to learn more.In this Season 12 episode, Jaimé Bennett — Managing Director, EMEA at PCMA — joins the show to talk about what it means to read with intent. Most people read Convene for inspiration and stop there; Jaimé turns what she reads into main-stage programming, team conversations, and the way she designs experiences. We explore how an article becomes the start of a bigger conversation, why she reads to grow rather than to confirm what she already believes, how she resists booking big names in favor of ideas that genuinely move a room, and how she designs for belonging and for the hard conversations most events avoid. A conversation about curation, courage, and turning what you consume into what you create.
