Youvna Salian

Youvna Salian

I began writing thought pieces on sustainable design, diversity, and inclusivity while I was still a design student who was trying to find my colours. I actively look for opportunities to advocate for gender-inclusive design practices.

As a non-binary person, motivated by my lived experiences as a consumer and driven by my spirit as an informed UX designer, I believe that Inclusivity shouldn’t be an afterthought. I can safely say that, having been on both sides of the coin, the designer and the user in this context, empathy goes a long way. Making one feel seen and heard can be so validating, and that validation shouldn’t be something that feels extraordinary to experience. It should be normal.

I'm here dropping my two cents in design, data, and tech, to be part of something that creates value.

Matt Zaske

I am a seasoned IT professional with over 25 years of experience who brings a unique blend of technical expertise and creative flair to the table. My background bridges several IT disciplines including endpoint management, server administration (Linux and Windows), and applications architecture and development. I am also an advocate for innovation and automation through encouraging folks to move to a DevOps mindset and promoting the use of automation tooling to improve everyday business practices.

I am a well-established trainer and dynamic and engaging speaker, having presented at events internally, locally, and regionally such as user groups, edtech conferences, and similar engagements. I have also been a repeat speaker at larger events such as MMSMOA. My unique blend of humor, storytelling, and real-world experience helps others navigate and understand complex technology concepts and sparks innovation. I refer to this as "technology grief counseling."

I enjoy exploring and demystifying new and emerging technologies and enjoy creative pursuits including 3D printing, home automation, software development in novelty "bot" projects, and am a theatre nerd and participant including time as an executive leader of a nonprofit community theatre organization.

Jason Nissen

Jason Nissen

Jason Nissen is a specialist in ticket brokerage and hospitality marketplaces, with a career spanning nearly three decades. During this time, he has managed large-scale ticket sales, designed hospitality packages, and organized events, including Broadway productions, music festivals, and global sporting competitions. His career reflects a consistent ability to handle complex operations, ensuring audiences and clients experience well-executed, memorable events.

Jason’s professional path has been shaped by two key strengths: mathematics and people skills. His mathematical background enables him to evaluate logistics, financial structures, and strategies with precision and accuracy. Alongside this, his talent for communication and relationship building allows him to work effectively with clients, partners, and colleagues. This combination of technical expertise and interpersonal skills has guided his career in industries where both accuracy and collaboration are crucial.

Through these qualities, Nissen has been able to anticipate challenges, remain adaptable, and deliver consistent results. Whether overseeing a festival, a concert, or an international sporting event, he has consistently demonstrated the ability to translate detailed requirements into smooth and well-coordinated outcomes.

Jason Nissen began developing this foundation at Hamilton College, where he earned a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics in 1994. While at Hamilton, he also played as a wide receiver on the football team and served as social chair of his fraternity. These experiences provided him with opportunities to develop leadership, communication, and teamwork skills that would become valuable in his future career in the ticket brokerage and hospitality industries.

For more than 28 years, Jason has served as an officer at The Ultimate Fan. In this role, he has helped the company grow into a respected provider of tickets and hospitality services. The company has delivered access to some of the world’s most prestigious events, including the Super Bowl, the Final Four, Wimbledon, the US Open, and the Olympics. By combining logistical detail with personalized service, Jason has enabled The Ultimate Fan to serve a wide range of clients, from individual fans to Fortune 500 corporations.

Nissen also extended his career into event creation. From 2015 to 2017, he was CEO of Minus Zero Music Festival, an Electronic Dance Music festival held in Stratton, Vermont. The festival combined EDM performances with skiing and snowboarding, offering attendees a distinctive form of entertainment. Jason managed every aspect of the event, from ticketing and merchandise to stage construction and safety protocols. His leadership demonstrated his ability to turn creative ideas into organized, successful events.

Jason Nissen’s philosophy blends long-term vision with direct involvement. He often credits communication, collaboration, and relationship building as key factors in his professional success. From securing his first clients through college connections to maintaining long-term partnerships with corporate groups and sports organizations, Jason has consistently focused on building meaningful, lasting relationships.

Over the years, Jason has also faced challenges, including regulatory requirements in ticket sales and balancing profitability with sustainable practices. For the 2024 Minus Zero Music Festival reboot, he introduced eco-friendly initiatives, reflecting his commitment to responsible business practices and ensuring high-quality audience experiences.

For Jason, professional fulfillment comes from both measurable results and from seeing ambitious projects succeed. He finds inspiration in figures such as Phil Knight and Anthony Bourdain, appreciating their persistence, creativity, and ability to bring their vision to life. He also relies on straightforward tools, such as a whiteboard, to guide collaborative and practical planning.

Looking ahead, Jason Nissen continues to focus on improving and reimagining live event experiences. With the rebranding and relaunch of Minus Zero Music Festival, he plans to combine lessons learned from past experiences with innovative approaches to drive growth. His nearly 30 years in ticket brokerage, hospitality, and event management highlight a career built on careful planning, strong connections, and a dedication to creating events that audiences will always remember.
