Logan Pratt

To celebrate our 2024 Meetings Trendsetters, Meetings Today has launched a new podcast series called "Trendsetter Tuesday," in order to learn more about the 20 Trendsetters recognized in our July/August issue.

On this episode of the Trendsetter Tuesday podcast, Meetings Today digital content coordinator Logan Pratt sat down with Monique Ruff-Bell, chief program and strategy officer for TED, to learn more about her journey in the industry, from intern to C-suite.

Monique Ruff-Bell is the Chief Program & Strategy Officer for TED, where she oversees TED’s flagship global events and conferences, TEDx programs and initiatives, global partnership sales and key marketing verticals. But before she was helping to run one of the most well-known conferences in the world, she was just a humble intern who decided to commit herself to the industry after meeting rapper LL Cool J.
