  • Essential listening for modern event pros

    This episode nails a conversation the industry needs to be having. Events aren’t just “nice to have” they’re strategic tools for growth, and they lay out exactly how to prove it. The shift from planner to integrated marketer is real, and this episode offers both the mindset shift and the metrics to back it up.

    If you’ve ever struggled to get leadership to see the value of your work, this is a fab listen! Smart, actionable, and empowering!

  • Finally a Resource for What I Love

    Event marketing is a sexy career, and when done right, really moves the needle for companies, but there’s a giant Achilles heel in the role- there is no standard way that your superiors measure that success.

    That’s why a show that is intent on defining that is so valuable.

    I really love how Matt has his unique point of view on how to do it, and challenges his guests to help the industry advance, while sharing great practices that make me better at what I do.

EP 177 | Inside Lenovo’s Event Strategy: Partnerships, Scale, and Standing Out
Q: What are some networking groups or organizations you would recommend?
Attendees should seek in-person events like Exhibitor Live or similar conferences to meet peers, with encouragement to post on LinkedIn and engage in niche communities to build relationships.
EP 180 | Micro-Events as Closers: The Playbook Behind 15,000% ROI
Q: What strategy have you implemented to drive attendees to these events and ensure they fall inside the ICP?

EP 181 | RFPs for Event Agencies: How to Ask Better Questions and Choose Better Partners
Q: How can brands evaluate long-term partners versus one-off events without locking into a single partner?
Ask agencies to walk through a full process, show how they would manage an ongoing relationship, and consider a long-term plan with a capabilities deck tailored to recurring needs; prefer transparency and collaborative planning over a single event-focused pitch.
EP 181 | RFPs for Event Agencies: How to Ask Better Questions and Choose Better Partners
Q: Michael Hooper asked what rubrics you use to evaluate proponents and keep them objective.
We use a mix of objective criteria like budget, timeline, and response quality, and subjective criteria such as how creative the proposals are, the quality of questions, and the overall communication style;Rubrics help balance data with gut instinct.
EP 183 | Bespoke Events: How to Build VIP Experiences That Actually Move Deals Forward
Q: How do you balance depth with scale when designing these events?
Prioritize a small, focused set of high-impact attendees and tailor the experience around the audience and relationship goals before expanding to larger groups.
