Mount Laurel, NJ – On Location, a nationwide provider of labor and management services for exhibits, events, activations, and branded environments, proudly announces that Ty Macaulay, Director of National Operations, has been named an EDPA Future Leader by the Experiential Designers and Producers Association (EDPA).
The EDPA Future Leaders Program celebrates rising professionals who demonstrate exceptional leadership, commitment to excellence, and a passion both in their daily roles but also in advancing the face-to-face marketing industry as a whole. Honorees are recognized for their innovation, collaboration, and the positive influence they bring to their organizations and clients.
“From the day I met Ty, he stood out as a natural leader and a person who people gravitated to for direction, guidance, and advice,” said Dave Brown, Director of Sales and Marketing at On Location. “Ty is one of those people who is comfortable in any situation and with anyone. He has a gift for building trust with a glance or handshake.” Brown added, “As a young professional, his wealth of experience far exceeds his years. Alongside our Operations team, he will continue to help build On Location’s future for decades to come.”
Ty joined On Location in 2016 after more than a decade as a leadman managing client-specific projects throughout the exhibit industry. His drive, technical skill, and client-first focus quickly earned him greater responsibility, culminating in his promotion to East Coast Operations Manager in 2018 before going on to be the Director of National Operations at the end of 2021. Today, he oversees projects spanning across the United States, ensuring consistency, quality, and on-brand execution across hundreds of shows each year.
“Ty’s recognition as an EDPA Future Leader underscores not just his personal dedication, but the culture we continue to build here – one that puts people, partnership, and precision first,” said Michael Mulry, President of On Location. “He truly represents the next generation of leadership that will carry our clients, and our industry, forward. We’re lucky to have him representing the OLI team.”
