Excellent Resource for Running a Successful Event!
This Podcast series is a wonderful and concise overview on many of the aspects, which individuals and groups may come across when organizing events.
Each episode is a fresh and lively discussion between the host and the interviewees. It's interesting and entertaining to hear the personal accounts of each Guest. The challenges they've faced, and all the details they had to learn and go through to put on a successful and properly executed event.
Every Guest is very insightful and brings up valuable points I may never have considered before attempting to put something together. I came away with some great suggestions to consider implementing when I next plan an event. Some insightful lessons from people in many different roles and levels of the Event Planning, Promotions, and Production Management Industries, and great tips from others from a more Grassroots and smaller scale.
Well produced and keeps you engaged throughout. Great work! I highly recommend it to anyone looking to organize an event. There are things to take away from it no matter what scale of event you are producing.
Concise and informative
I am happy to produce for you The Event Planning Podcast. I am an avid podcast listener myself and I hope that this content is beneficial to you. I love meeting our interviewees and trust that you will enjoy the episodes!
