  • 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.

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.
Behind the Curtain: What It Really Takes to Plan Events for the U.S. Government with Brittany Carroll
Q: What practical advice would you give to someone pursuing work in government events?
Her guidance centers on registering with SAMS or equivalent vendor programs, building in-country networks, doing advance site visits, and establishing strong procurement partnerships to navigate regulations and procurement processes effectively.
252 - Designing Public-Facing Events That Actually Engage People
Q: How do you handle logistics and permits for public-facing events?
Start planning early, coordinate with the venue and city authorities, consider accessibility needs (ramps, bathrooms, food labeling), ensure load-in/load-out access, and don't overlook safety and evolving permit requirements, especially for larger productions.
252 - Designing Public-Facing Events That Actually Engage People
Q: What are some meaningful engagement ideas beyond a photo booth and perks?
Think of intimate, memorable experiences that invite participation, like drag queen story time for adults, a themed scavenger or activity, and opportunities for attendees to create something they can take home or share online, such as crafts, custom merch, or interactive installations.
