  • 10 Tips was Awesome!

    Practical, smart, and exactly what event pros need. As someone who’s been behind the scenes of many events, this episode was gold. Logan’s run of show tips are the kind of small-but-mighty insights that make a huge difference when you’re in the chaos of live production.

    This episode is a must-listen whether you’re new to events or a seasoned pro. Simple, actionable, and delivered with clarity.

    Sharing this with every planner I know!

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Data-Driven Event: Personalization, AI, and What Actually Works with Vinnu Deshetty
Q: What is the minimum viable data setup to start personalizing events?
At minimum, have your data in a spreadsheet with core fields, define a single goal and the data points needed to support it, and implement a straightforward plan to act on those insights after the data is collected.
The Data-Driven Event: Personalization, AI, and What Actually Works with Vinnu Deshetty
Q: How can AI be used as a thought partner for event data without overwhelming organizers?
Use AI as a brainstorming partner to identify what data to collect and how to structure it, then gradually introduce more sophisticated prompts and automation as comfort grows. The goal is to augment human decision-making, not replace it.
The Data-Driven Event: Personalization, AI, and What Actually Works with Vinnu Deshetty
Q: What is your pitch to a listener who is skeptical about why data matters in events?
Data matters because it helps you set realistic goals, measure progress, and tailor experiences. Start with one clear objective, like increasing attendance or matching sessions to attendee interests, and build from there using simple, privacy-conscious data practices.
Peaks and Leaks in Your Event Agenda with Lee Gimpel
Q: What change would you recommend if someone has to lock an agenda soon?
Insert a high-impact, early connection moment within the first 5-20 minutes to prevent attendees from feeling isolated and to kickstart engagement, even if it means adjusting a few early sessions.
Grief, Gatherings, and Connection with Dana Pake
Q: What was your mother-in-law's name?
Her name was Jeannie, a magical presence who influenced Dana's views on resilience and gathering.
