By Jesse McDaniel   For many professionals in our industry, the difference between our day-to-day tasks and our duties while on event can be a world apart. Regular operations may see you managing city permits and creating routes, while the big day itself might call on you to work with volunteers, partner with vendors, set up signage, or supervise the registration tent. We all wear many different hats, and particularly when you’re working on an event series taking place in different cities across the country at the same time, there may come a time when you’re called on to tackle your ..read more

By Jillian Schranz  Two weeks ago, I had the chance to be a part of the Event 360 team attending Collaborative by Classy during the week, then wrapping up our final run/walk event of the spring season that weekend. It’s one of the many things I love about this job — getting to flex my brain and my muscles all in the same week. Last week here on the blog, Abbie shared some great takeaways from Collaborative by Classy, but I wanted to share just a few more themes I’ll be digging into a little deeper this summer in the “offseason,” which is really just a brief gap between our spring and fall ..read more

By Joann Buckley Collins  In 2024, there are more ways than ever to communicate with your constituents about your event. So how do you choose what’s the best way to get your message across? Do you follow the trends or stick with more old-fashioned methods? Should you set up a presence in the metaverse, or should you start training a flock of carrier pigeons?   Firstly, developing a communication strategy is not about picking the “best” channel. Because there is no singular best one-size-fits-all platform. Instead, build a multi-pronged approach that combines different outlets. Y ..read more
