    Jon Stone Consulting has deep expertise in new project development, startup, turnaround, and crisis management and stabilization scenarios.

  • In recent times the process of planning for and managing public gatherings and public space has evolved into a responsibility of enormous magnitude and significant complexity.

    Our core belief is that humans need to physically come together from time to time in shared experience. To that end, we have established ourselves as industry thought leaders on meeting the rapidly evolving needs of today and tomorrow.

  • Our experience base spans the entire spectrum. We believe the only difference between the smallest community event and the largest civic mass gatherings is the quantity of zeros on the end of all the numbers. The mechanics and essential components are all the same.

    From hundreds to hundreds of thousands, we feel at home. Jon Stone Consulting engagements range from single day consultations to multi-year projects, from one-on-one coaching relationships to driving the entire enterprise. We can operate in the background, on the playing field, or in an embedded ownership-level approach.

  • Jon Stone Consulting is a collective of renowned event producers, community leaders, and subject matter experts. Our uncommon breadth and depth of experience gives us a rare 360 degree perspective of the issues at hand.
