The Expo Group Acquires Educe to Integrate into Level5 Events
1/22/2020
The Expo Group, an exhibitions and events partner that invests in growth, today acquired Educe LLC, a firm committed to adding value to the events and engagement strategy for higher education institutions.

“This acquisition brings together two of the top firms in higher education events,” says The Expo Group President and COO Randy Pekowski. “Integrating the strategic expertise of Educe into our Level5 Events offering is an investment in the causes of our clients and a commitment to creating transformative experiences.”

Educe was founded in 2013 by JoAnn Peroutka and Sarah Winkler to focus on the need for those advancing higher education to create experiences that ring true and inspire deeper connections. Now with Level5 Events, Sarah and JoAnn will remain deeply involved in the success of their clientele while harnessing increased creative and production resources.

“We are thrilled to be joining the Level5 Events team and to continue to serve as a strategic partner to our clients. By expanding our focus on innovation and capabilities in production technology, we will ensure that we are able to support them at every stage of their advancement efforts – today and tomorrow,” Winkler says.

The Expo Group This expanded Level5 Events by The Expo Group has even stronger operational capabilities and an increased ability to execute on events strategy, storytelling, design and production. The acquisition, driven by a desire for all parties to offer a more holistic suite of services, adds two top higher education executives to partner with Level5 Events founders Michael Preston, EVP, National Accounts, and Gary Wokas, EVP and General Manager.

“We recognize in Sarah and JoAnn a shared passion for higher education and a common approach to delivering the best, customized solutions for partner institutions,” Preston says. “The melding of their strategic approach and our expertise will be a powerful offering for schools that want to engage more deeply with their most valuable constituents.”

“This is our second major acquisition this month and part of our long-term strategy to grow in the right places at the right time with the right people” Pekowski says. “I am proud of our entire team’s focus on Helping People Perform at a Higher Level, which means continual improvement, enhanced technology capabilities and commitment to servant leadership.”
