TROY WILLIAMS loves nothing more than to see a sparkle in someone’s eye when they realize their vision has been brought to life in a spectacular fashion. Whether its high-profile weddings for Julianne Hough or Eva Longoria or a once-in-a-lifetime event honoring the legendary Carol Burnett and “The 50th Anniversary of The Carol Burnett Show”; his attention to the thoughtful details, both big and small, is consistently at an exceptionally high standard for all of his clients. Troy is a former Senior Publicist for Premieres and Special Events at Warner Bros. Pictures, where he was involved in the planning and implementation of over 450 special events from coast to coast, including Academy Award and Golden Globe parties. After his rewarding 14-year tenure, he successfully launched Simply Troy Lifestyle + Events and now creates incredibly personalized event and branding experiences for Celebrity, Corporate, Charity and Social clients. His strong background in Public Relations, Marketing and Brand Partnerships are a bonus to his event designer skills. He’s available for hosting on-air television lifestyle segments and speaking engagements globally. Plus, he’s established the Simply Smart Book Club, an online entrepreneurial and leadership book club open to everyone and is currently incorporating multiple lifestyle design projects into his brand. When he’s not making people’s visions come to life for their special occasions, he loves spending time with his supportive family. He and his husband, Craig share their home in Southern California, with their 5 year-old son, Finnley and their three dogs, Lucy, Lala + Lolo.

A sense of community and making sure every person has at least one friend in their life.

Being gracious in business and with your team and vendors.

This is my 1st time to the TED Conference and I'm excited to learn, grow, be inspired, be WOWed and of course enjoy the amazement of it all.

Dancing (well they know if they watch my social media feeds). Also, I love authentically connecting people who I think would make great friends.
