We’re proud to celebrate a standout achievement from one of our own: Jerome Vileta, Event Manager at Impact XM, has been featured on Conference News’ 2025 CN 30underThirty list—recognizing the next generation of event professionals who are making waves across the industry.
The CN 30underThirty program highlights rising leaders who are not only delivering exceptional results but also advocating for meaningful change. Jerome’s inclusion in this year’s list reflects both his passion for people-first experiences and his growing influence as a voice for workplace wellness in the events space.
In his feature interview, Jerome shares how his hospitality background drew him to the high-energy, collaborative nature of the events world. From managing his first large-scale meeting as a project lead to navigating the pressures of the industry early in his career, his journey is marked by resilience, empathy, and drive. Today, he’s not only a rising event professional, he’s also a passionate advocate for mental health and better work-life balance within the fast-paced event landscape.
For Jerome, success isn’t just about flawless execution, it’s about creating sustainable, supportive environments for both teams and clients to thrive. In the interview, he opens up about the toll of burnout, the value of setting boundaries, and his commitment to leading by example by embracing flexible schedules, prioritizing well-being, and encouraging others to do the same.
As Jerome says: “A healthier work environment is not only essential for individual well-being but also for long-term productivity and job satisfaction.”
His voice reflects a larger movement in our industry—one that prioritizes people just as much as performance. And at Impact XM, we couldn’t be prouder to support and celebrate event professionals like Jerome who are helping to build a better, more balanced future for us all.
