Zaedryn (Zed) Rook (they/them) is a Seattle-based event producer with 20+ years of experience designing and executing events that bring people together with intention — from destination weddings and multi-day residential retreats to national conferences, multi-city book tours, and large-scale educational programming. They have produced hundreds of events across formats and scales, consistently growing attendance, revenue, and community engagement through strategic marketing, meticulous logistics, and a deep commitment to participant experience.

Co-founder of multiple organizations, skilled facilitator, and producer of events from community organizations to universities, Zed brings both the operational precision and the human intelligence that complex events demand — and is now seeking to bring that experience to bear as part of a dedicated event production team.
