MEET THE TEAM
Insomnia has always been built by the community that loves it, and at the heart of that community is a team of long-standing partners who know this event inside out. From live broadcast, staging to show management, these are the people who’ve spent decades shaping Insomnia through its high points, its challenges, and now its renewed future.
This year, we’ve brought the core crew back together, the specialists who’ve run some of Insomnia’s most iconic moments, and who are just as invested as our players in rebuilding the show the right way. Their experience, passion, and hard-won expertise form the backbone of Insomnia’s next chapter.
