Ioana Gamen

Business mentor, Event planner, Idea generator, Life mentor, Philanthropist

My name is Ioana Gamen, and I am an event artisan, as I like to call myself. Throughout my journey in this field, I discovered the passion that has defined my vocation: creating meticulously crafted concepts with passion. It all began in 2013 when I organized the first edition of PET EVENT, a pet-focused fair, an event that I still lovingly organize to this day. Over time, I have had many wonderful collaborations, and I have always wanted to make a valuable contribution to the Iași community, my beloved city, by participating in projects such as Off Road Competitions and Afterhills. I am an active member of the Rotary Club, and in 2022, I was designated as its President. If you had asked me the classic question when I was little, "What do you want to be when you grow up?" I would have answered, "An artist." In a way, I am still an artist, but now I am certain of my role – I am a creator of beauty and a fulfiller of dreams for all my collaborators: business events, festivals, concerts, museums, and traveling concepts in Romania and abroad. I have always grown alongside people, and I continue to do so. I have a passionate team by my side, and together, we grow and take satisfaction in doing things well, for our own joy and for the joy of those around us.

...the events in which I am involved (cultural projects, concerts, festivals, traveling museums) and I am also an active member in the development of the local community in Iasi, being involved in various social projects through the Rotary club.

I'm convinced that TED is the most effective educational platform available today. I'm extremely humbled to be involved in such a wonderful community.
