Joi Event Planning and Production Software

Dealing with disaster What is your contingency plan? We all know in the world of events we need to have a plan B, luckily we rarely have to put it into action. The recent Hurricane in Florida was, however, an example of when plan B was needed. We would like to thank i3 Events for sharing their experience. https://hubs.la/Q02TbRWM0 #eventplanners #eventprofs #conferenceplanners #eventplanning #independenteventplanners #pco #festivalplanners

The morning after... 
The event is over. It's been a great success and you [the organiser] are exhausted. The presenters and performers have had that adrenalin rush and are now on a bit of a down. Energy is low. But the event is over and there is nothing left on the task list so that's fine...or is it? Check out our latest blog and let us know what you think. https://hubs.la/Q02RqB0h0 #joievents #festivalplanners #eventplanners #eventprofs #conferenceplanners #embracejoi #eventplanning #eventrunsheets #freeeventapp #joievents #eventproduction #MC

Many corporate presenters are just happy not to make an idiot of themselves. This is level one presenting. Level two is to be engaging ie don't send the audience to sleep. Level three is taking the audience on a journey. Level three is where the power sits.

One of the fabulous things about the world in which we live is that technology gives us the ability to work with people anywhere. We haven't quite got to the multi lingual bit at Joi so our global conversations are restricted to English. You would think this would mean understanding each other wouldn't be a problem, right? Well, no. It turns out everyone we talk to may speak English but they use different words to describe elements of event planning. It's like talking about furniture and not all using the same word for 'table'. What event planning words are you using? What's in a name https://hubs.la/Q02MrbSR0 #eventplanner #eventmanagement #festivalorganiser #runofshow #cuesheet #eventprogram #eventschedule

The magic of live events Would you ever buy a t-shirt saying you had streamed a LIVE concert? Surely the answer is no. But if you went to a LIVE concert of your favourite performer you would buy the merch and wear it with pride for years to come. Check out our latest blog as we ponder what creates a memorable event experience. https://hubs.la/Q02KSwB90 #eventplanners #eventprofs #conferenceplanners #eventplanning #independenteventplanners #pco #festivalplanners

Do you do a 'run of show'? Run of show, also known as a cue sheet is a detailed run down of what is happening on stage. No theatre or TV production would go ahead without their equivalent of a run of show, it would be chaos and look very unprofessional. Should you be using a Run of Show? https://hubs.la/Q02J8L_00 #eventproduction #eventplanners #runofshow #cuesheet #festivalplanner #showcallers

Don't do it to yourself https://lnkd.in/gz9Kbsef As event planners we work hard, but sometimes we have to ask ourselves, do we work SMART? #eventplanners #worksmarterwithjoi #timemanagement #eventprofs #festivalplanners

I can hear music... sweet, sweet music Music can make an event. All you need is to set aside the time to curate your soundtrack and you can turn an also ran event into a life long memory.

While updating all those spreadsheets, checking and double-checking the details until your brain hurts, do you ever think there must be a better way to plan events and festivals? Do you ever wonder if other planners are doing the same thing or have a better way: Do they know something you don't? What you are feeling is FOBO - fear of better operations. Suffering from FOBO? https://lnkd.in/gWtByZ7r #eventplanners #eventprofs #conferenceplanners #eventplanning #joievents #eventproduction #independenteventplanners #festivalplanners #festivaldirectors

Tech rehearsal: The difference between good and great. What do we mean by tech rehearsal? This is the pre 'show' run-through. You have to set up the room, everything is ready: Now you do a tech rehearsal. This is when you go through every element of the day: audience walk in, how you will kick off, each presentation, what you do at the breaks, and how you will close. https://hubs.la/Q02DNk5m0 #eventplanners #eventprofs #conferenceplanners #embracejoi #eventplanning #eventrunsheets #freeeventapp #joievents #eventproduction #independenteventplanners #pco #eventcriticalpath
