The wizard behind the curtain at Think Big Aspen Events is real and trustworthy from the start, with all the wondrous Oz-like portals in tow. If the yellow brick road is the journey, then she'll help you decide whether its hue is saffron or sunflower, and secure the most reliable vendors to follow it safely with you. Home is your event, and Liz Long knows there's no place anywhere like it.

But wizards are not born - they're made. Liz is the founder and owner of Aspen Productions, a global TV commercial production company based in Aspen, Colorado. This business emerged from her experience navigating the national and international commercial production industry for the past two decades. Her first home base was New York City, where she made her mark as one of the arena's most successful producers. She is known in the industry as an original -- a lively collaborator, a respected resource, and a vision-driven, budget-conscious innovator. The progression to producing events was so natural, it was instinctive.

Hold onto Toto -- there's one more thing: Liz maybe unswervingly practical, but she's intent on making magic happen. This unusual combination is the fire and ice that simultaneously melts and cools, carving a way to Kansas that would make even MGM turn a wicked-witch shade of green.
