Doug Murray Transitions Out of Operational Role at Entertainment Technology Partners

Entertainment Technology Partners (ETP), announcing the successful two-and-a-half-year integration of ChoiceLIVE, the event production and entertainment technology company, into its operating division, Event EQ, adds that Doug Murray, former ChoiceLIVE founder and leader of the integration, is transitioning out of his operational role with the company.

Other Entertainment Technology Partners brands include LMG, LMG Touring, Systems Innovation, Event EQ. Pixl Evolution, and the CoiL Learning Center.

"The acquisition of ChoiceLIVE was a key strategic step in expanding Event EQ's capabilities, and Doug has been instrumental in ensuring a flawless integration of both the technology and the team," says Les Goldberg, CEO of LMG/ETP. "The mission is accomplished. We now have a fully unified platform that is primed for its next phase of growth."

"Seeing the ChoiceLIVE team successfully integrate and thrive within ETP has been deeply rewarding," Murray says. "We built something truly special together, and I'm proud to leave Event EQ with a unified, high-performing team positioned for continued scaling. Now that the integration phase is complete, I'm looking forward to recharging before taking on my next entrepreneurial challenge."

Murray will remain available to ETP in an advisory capacity through January 30, 2026, assisting with final administrative closure. Day-to-day leadership of the Event EQ division is now in the hands of 17-year company veteran Ian Campbell, executive vice president.
