Women-owned team behind Milken celebrates 25 years of high-stakes event production

For more than 20 years, one of the world’s most influential global conferences has been shaped behind the scenes by a women-owned event production firm. In 2025, tbg Events celebrated its 25th anniversary — including its long-standing role as a production partner for programs affiliated with The Milken Institute. 

Founded in 2000 by Tammy Dickerson, CMP, president and chief events officer, tbg Events has grown from a single-client startup into a multi-million-dollar firm serving Fortune 100 and Fortune 500 companies, alongside leading nonprofit and cultural institutions. Its client roster includes globally recognized brands such as American Airlines, Disney, and The Coca-Cola Company, as well as major sports and philanthropic organizations, including the Los Angeles Dodgers Foundation, Los Angeles Lakers and Sparks, and Magic Johnson Foundation. 

Among its most notable clients is The Milken Institute. Preparing for its 29th Annual Global Conference, taking place May 3–6 in Beverly Hills, tbg Events has served as a trusted production partner for more than two decades. 

For close to three decades, tbg Events has produced more than 500 events across 100+ cities worldwide, partnering with over 200 clients and engaging nearly 1,000 consultants and event professionals. The company’s work spans global conferences, executive convenings, high-profile galas, and complex, multi-stakeholder events requiring both strategic oversight and precise execution. 

Twenty-five years ago, at a dining room table in Culver City, Dickerson began building something that didn’t yet have a roadmap — just a vision, a laptop, and an unwavering belief in what was possible. Today, that vision has become tbg Events. 

“This journey has always been about people — our clients, our partners, and the extraordinary team who bring each experience to life,” said Dickerson. “Reaching 25 years reflects the trust our clients place in us and the consistency we’ve maintained over time.” 

tbg Events is among a small group of African American, women-owned, female-majority event production companies at this scale. The company remains committed to working with underrepresented vendors and partners, reinforcing its belief that diverse perspectives strengthen outcomes. 

This approach has also contributed to long-term team retention, with several senior leaders serving with the company for more than 15 years. 

During the COVID-19 pandemic, tbg Events demonstrated adaptability by becoming one of the first event production agencies to expand into virtual production, increasing profitability by more than 30% while maintaining continuity for clients during a period of industry-wide disruption. 

Headquartered in Los Angeles, tbg Events is strategically positioned as the city prepares to host a series of major global events, including the 2026 FIFA World Cup, the 2027 Super Bowl, and the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games. The company is actively exploring opportunities to contribute to these large-scale moments. 

In parallel, tbg Events is expanding into curated luxury group travel and wellness retreats designed for high-achieving women 50+, reflecting a broader strategy of intentional, experience-led growth.
