IRIS ESP 101

OUR MISSION

Iris Presents, Inc. is an electronic dance music event and promotion company, committed to providing the highest quality entertainment experience. Our aim is to spread joy, light, positivity and fun to the community through imaginative, live and interactive entertainment experiences. Our company is founded on the core value to treat others as you would like them to treat you. We believe we can spread these values by creating a truly positive shared experience. 

If you do not leave our event feeling like you are family, we have not fulfilled our promise.

For over a decade, IRIS has produced high-energy dance music events featuring electrifying audio-visual experiences, captivating lighting designs and a loyal following among electronic dance music enthusiasts. Founded by Glenn Goodhand in 1996, IRIS was one of the pioneer old-school promotion companies in Atlanta during the late 90’s and early 2000’s. Taking a short break from the business between 2005 and 2011, Glenn finished law school and married his wife Madeleine Ehrnrooth Goodhand. In 2011, the brand re-emerged as Iris Presents, Inc. with his wife joining the company as partner.

IRIS reflects the perfect marriage of hearts and minds with a core philosophy to spread light, love and positivity through unique and interactive entertainment experiences. With no signs of slowing down, IRIS was voted Atlanta’s number one promoter the past three years in a row and has won several accolades and awards in the Atlanta area for their well known weekly event ESP101 [Learn to Believe].

In 2013 and 2014, IRIS swept Creative Loafing’s “Best of Atlanta” Awards winning “Best of” in seven categories including: Best Local Promoter, Best Weekly Club Night, Best Nightlife Event, Best Dance Music Club, Best After hours/late-night Spot, Best 18 + Club; and INsite Magazine’s Best of EDM.
