  • 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.

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.
252 - Designing Public-Facing Events That Actually Engage People
Q: When we say public facing events, what types of events are we talking about?
They include festivals, city-wide parades, book fairs, markets, and any event open to broad audiences where attendees come and go freely, not just employees or ticketed guests. The focus is on accessibility, inclusivity, and creating an experience that appeals to both dedicated fans and casual bystanders.
248 - Prepping for Parental Leave as an Event Pro with Jessica Zimmerman
Q: What have you learned about telling clients and teams about your leave?
Telling colleagues and clients early, with a phased approach, helps manage expectations; many people are understanding and supportive, though balancing communication and over-sharing can be tricky.
248 - Prepping for Parental Leave as an Event Pro with Jessica Zimmerman
Q: How far along were you in your pregnancy when you started seriously planning your maternity leave?
