EES Agency partnered with Vanderbilt University to bring the inaugural Convoy Conference to life, a bold, three-day campus-wide event designed to elevate the university’s presence in entrepreneurship, venture capital, and innovation. Held in March 2025, Convoy brought together more than 750 attendees, including students, faculty, alumni, and top-tier investors, with keynote appearances from figures like Mark Cuban and Jeff Rothschild. Vanderbilt envisioned Convoy as more than a conference; it was a platform to foster meaningful connections, spark new ventures, and build long-term momentum toward its goal of becoming a top-five school for entrepreneurship by 2030.

The launch of Convoy was an overwhelming success, exceeding engagement goals and establishing a new signature event for the university’s innovation ecosystem. Attendees praised the energy, curation, and production quality, while alumni and VC participants left inspired by the strength of Vanderbilt’s entrepreneurial community. The conference generated record attendance, meaningful deal flow discussions, and a renewed sense of identity around innovation on campus. For Vanderbilt and its stakeholders, Convoy not only signaled where the university is headed—it proved they’re already well on their way.

EES Agency served as a strategic and creative partner throughout the planning and production process, helping Vanderbilt transform this vision into a polished and impactful experience. From branded environmental design and immersive programming to seamless logistics across multiple venues, EES oversaw every detail with care. The team managed staging and AV, coordinated speaker sessions and pitch events, and designed thoughtful wayfinding and guest experiences. Working closely with university leadership and various campus stakeholders, EES ensured Convoy delivered both high-level content and human connection—bridging students with alumni, investors with startups, and ideas with opportunity.
