Hey friends, join me on this special episode of the Events Demystified Podcast as we celebrates five years of demystifying the world of events. This episode is a bit reflective as I think on the five year journey since the podcast’s inception in July 2019, which aimed to provide insights into AV production, event planning, and the importance of work-life integration. I am super grateful for each one of you, as well as ALL 105 featured guests (see below) whom I get to mention by name during this special episode. And then I get to share what’s next, the exciting new series launching in July, ‘eVent About It,’ with a call to all meetings and event professionals to share their own stories.
Thank you for sticking around all this time!
