Hey there! I’m Ari Sohn, a 3x founder, event MC, and community builder passionate about creating meaningful impact through technology and human connection.
My Story
My entrepreneurial journey has taken some unexpected turns – from running a Jewish Community Center in Medellín, Colombia, to co-founding PreservUs, where we’re revolutionizing cemetery technology and preservation. Along the way, I discovered that the most rewarding ventures often come from the most unexpected places.
Leadership & Community
My path to becoming the events professional I am today began with a pivotal moment: discovering The 2-Hour Cocktail Party by Nick Gray.
This book revolutionized my approach to event planning and became the foundation upon which I built my career in the events industry.
Now, I’m the host of the Heartfelt Event Show — It’s a live podcast on LinkedIn where I invite other event pros to talk about their experiences as an events expert.
I am also the Head of Community and Ecosystem at TxtCart, I’ve helped scale SMS marketing solutions for Shopify merchants.
You might also know me as the host of Cart Basel and various industry events, where I bring together e-commerce leaders to foster meaningful connections.
Life-Changing Experience
But perhaps what I’m most proud of isn’t business-related at all. In 2021, I had the privilege of becoming a stem cell donor, giving a 10-year-old boy a second chance at life. This experience reinforced my belief that sometimes the most impactful things we do happen outside the boardroom.
Beyond Business
When I’m not scaling businesses or MCing events, you’ll find me swimming laps or expanding my Pokémon card collection. I believe in building awesome things for businesses with clear traction and helping them reach new heights.
