The EventTalk

We’re excited to share that The EventTalk held its first Gathering yesterday at Wasted Grain Scottsdale! It was a fantastic opportunity for open discussions on the best ways to host, serve, present, and prepare drinks for events. In addition, our second group of panelists offered valuable insights on incorporating music to enhance the overall experience. Participants from various areas of event planning gathered to learn, connect, create and share ideas. Keep an eye out for announcements next week about our next event location and topics. We look forward to continuing the conversation! #eventplanner #eventplanningaz #eventplanning #eventplanningtips #corporateevents #corporateplanner #corporateplanning #weddingplanning #weddingplanner #eventtips #drinks #eventcocktails #workconference #businessconference #weddingsandevents #businessmeetings #weddingplanning #eventplanners #azevents #azdj #djaz #corporateDJ #weddingdj #eventmusic

Water is often an essential yet overlooked component of any event. Whether hosting a gathering in the warm climate of Arizona, where attendees tend to require more hydration, or organizing a conference where participants engage in extended discussions and may not have the opportunity to step away for refreshments, it is vital to ensure that water is readily available. Additionally, at events featuring pets, such as dog shows or outdoor gatherings, the hydration needs of our four-legged companions must also be considered. To enhance the overall experience for all attendees, it is imperative to provide easily accessible water stations throughout the venue. By prioritizing hydration, you not only promote the well-being of your guests but also contribute to a more enjoyable and successful event. Please remember to incorporate ample water resources to accommodate everyone present.

Hello, I’m Rachel, the founder of The EventTalk. I created this platform to foster connections within the event industry, providing an inclusive space for professionals to network and share ideas. There are no memberships or annual fees—simply join us whenever you’re interested in the topics at hand. After over 20 years in the event space, I understand how isolating it can be, especially when you’re the sole expert in your organization. Sometimes, we all need fresh perspectives, connections, and opportunities to brainstorm and collaborate with others in the field. Lets work together to make our industry one of the best to work! I genuinely hope that The EventTalk can serve as that vital resource for everyone involved. I am thrilled to host our inaugural event on October 24 and look forward to welcoming all who share this vision.
