Seattle Event Professionals and those that schedule industry events at Seattle hotels! Share this with our network! You know how I am always complaining about events pulling from the same audience all happening at the same time? There is a solution! Attached is the Seattle Events Calendar, managed by Jana Heinrichs, CERP Make sure whoever schedules events checks the calendar first (it’s a featured post in Seattle Event Professionals, located on Facebook), to ensure there are no conflicts. Once you do set a date, make a comment on the calendar and the admin will update, so others that check the calendar don't book their events on that day, especially if it's an event that is pulling the same attendees. #eventslife #eventprofs #pnwevents
