Hosts Global Welcomes Event Industry Powerhouse Marti Winer as SVP, Regional General Manager

LAS VEGAS, July 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Hosts Global is proud to announce the appointment of Marti B. Winer as Senior Vice President, Regional General Manager, overseeing operations in Southern California, Las Vegas, and Seattle. Marti officially joins the company on September 1st, 2025, and marks her return to Las Vegas—a city where she has played a pivotal role in shaping iconic large-scale events and destination experiences.

Marti brings more than two decades of experience across event production, experiential marketing, communications strategy, and executive leadership. She is recognized throughout the industry for designing high-impact, audience-driven experiences that align with both brand goals and business outcomes.

Most recently, Marti led the successful reopening of Casa Bonita, a 50-year-old immersive dining and entertainment experience in Colorado, famously acquired and revived by the creators of TV-hit South Park. Under Marti's leadership, the venue's transformation became a national story of creative reinvention and operational excellence.

Prior to that, Marti served as Vice President of Event Productions at MGM Resorts, where she oversaw over 2,200 events in a single year, reimagining the event experience across the company's properties. She also supported events related to destination-wide strategies including the NFL Draft, Formula 1, and the Las Vegas Raiders, as well as numerous large-scale activations for citywide programming.

Marti has also held executive roles in global communications and event services, overseeing initiatives for major hospitality and travel brands, and has produced events across industries including finance, pharmaceuticals, food service, and franchising.

"Marti's return to Las Vegas and step into this leadership role is a major win for our team, our clients, and our vision for what's next," said Kurt Paben, CEO of Hosts Global. "She brings a rare blend of strategic insight, creative leadership, and real-world execution. Marti doesn't just produce events—she crafts unforgettable moments that move businesses forward."

An active voice in the industry, Marti has served on the MPI International Board of Directors and Global Board of Trustees, the Event Industry Council's Global Task Forces, and is a frequent contributor to initiatives that promote innovation, equity, and career development throughout the events community.

"Joining Hosts Global at this moment in its growth is incredibly exciting," said Marti Winer. "I've always believed that events are the most powerful communication tool available to tell stories, spark connection, and drive results—and I'm thrilled to bring that passion to destinations I love, with a team that's raising the bar for the industry."

Marti will be based in Las Vegas and begins her new role on September 1st, 2025.
