Evan Smith is joining The Atlantic’s staff as Managing Director overseeing events. Smith will lead one of the most influential and long-running events practices in today’s media, alongside Managing Editor Krystle Champagne-Norwood, and Director of Events Jess Edkins. The Atlantic convenes dozens of annual in-person and virtual events that reach thousands of people every year, anchored by its flagship Atlantic Festival.
Other recurring series address key areas of journalistic focus – such as health and science, democracy, politics, books and culture. Smith co-founded The Texas Tribune and was its CEO from 2009 to 2022. Since 2022, he’s been Senior Adviser at Emerson Collective, where he works closely with the leadership teams of non-profit news organizations from coast to coast. He also hosts “Overheard with Evan Smith,” a weekly half-hour interview program that airs on PBS.
