Behind the Mic
Well, hello there! My name is Anca and I am your Podcast host. My time “behind the mic” started a couple of decades ago as a radio DJ during my high school and college years. That has propelled me into sound engineering which eventually led to starting this Podcast while working in event AV production.
My goal for this Podcast has been from the very beginning to provide a platform, and give a voice to many of the underdogs in our industry, while also providing tangible technical and planning tips to anyone working in any capacity in the event industry. During each episode, my goal is to demystify the world of in-person, virtual, hybrid event production and technology by sharing insightful tips, tricks, strategies, and tactics that will help you plan and execute successful events of all formats and sizes!
Your Podcast is the best out there for all event professionals out there that are really trying to break into the event industry and build their expertise in virtual, hybrid and in-person events.
