"At ETHOS, we believe that destination management is not just about coordinating events; it's about creating meaningful experiences that leave a lasting impact," says Joe Fijol, Founder and Principal of ETHOS Event Collective. "Purposeful Planning™ is at the heart of everything we do, driving our commitment to excellence and social responsibility."
Introducing the Passion Project Initiative
Driven by a commitment to using business as a force for good, ETHOS Event Collective is thrilled to unveil the Passion Project Initiative across Amelia Island, Orlando, Palm Beach, Miami, Naples, Savannah, Las Vegas, Napa + Sonoma, Monterey Peninsula, San Francisco, and Grand Cayman. This initiative connects its clients with four local nonprofit organizations and four national organizations, providing diverse volunteering opportunities for attendees.

Over the past year, the team has meticulously vetted each organization in the Passion Project Initiative to ensure alignment with ETHOS' core values of people-first approaches, transparency, and impactful missions. This thorough vetting guarantees that clients can get involved with authentic opportunities to make meaningful, lasting contributions to the community.
