Our Story

Producing an event is a team sport.

The most successful events happen when information, responsibility, and action are handed off seamlessly — from one team to another, one moment to the next.

At Hand-Off, we believe that behind every great event is a great system — a central nervous system that keeps everything moving, connected, and aligned.

Hand-Off is the system that ensures nothing gets dropped.

Tomorrow, we'll be the backbone for organizations managing programs, communities, and collaborations year-round.

Whether you're producing a three-day conference or leading a year-long fellowship, Hand-Off helps your team move faster, communicate smarter, and deliver unforgettable experiences — together.

Today, we're helping event teams replace chaotic spreadsheets, scattered emails, and last-minute scrambles with a single source of truth for invitations, programming, speakers, and production.

Hand-Off was born from real experience.

Our founder, Jonathan Melgaard, spent years producing high-profile events like the Aspen Ideas Festival — managing the intersection of content, logistics, and production across hundreds of sessions and thousands of speakers.

After seeing firsthand how fragmented tools and last-minute chaos burned out even the best teams, he envisioned a better way.

Hand-Off is the result:

A next-generation event operating system designed to streamline operations, simplify communication, and empower teams to deliver their best work — without burning out. 

We're proud to be a team of event pros, technologists, and builders who understand the reality behind the scenes — and who believe the future of events should be less chaos, more collaboration.

No more scattered spreadsheets.
No more lost emails.
No more dropped batons.
