It's Big Breakfast Day! 🍳 Working in events we're lucky enough to experience breakfast from all over the world.

My boss and I were brainstorming event ideas we can do to attract new customers at the TOKEN2049 Conference. And we came up with something unexpected... Because we both don't drink we're not too big fans of the conference afterparties in bars. Which is why we do dinners - (last event had 12 CEOs come out, grand success). But dinners are pretty pricey ($150+/person), and also rather formal. Back to the drawing board... what fun daytime event could we do that is casual? Running? - Too much movement and skill variance Host a barbecue? - Too much food & beverage planning Cocktail hour? - There are already dozens of them planned with huge budgets So we thought Yoga would be great! 🤸♀️🏋️♂️🧘♀️ Inclusive, calming, and self-paced And how about we order acai bowls from the cafe? Healthy, vegan, and again inclusive to all dietary restrictions. So...1 hour yoga class, and 1 hour light food/networking. With a group size under 25, you can also ask everyone to do a self introduction. No idea if this will actually work, but it's a worthy experiment 🤷 Will let you know in 30 days if it this idea was a STRETCH or a success 😂 What other unique customer events have you seen? What made them effective? #events #brand30 #businessdevelopment #earlystagesales #token2049

Why are Go-Shows becoming more common, and what's the real cost of skipping that crucial RSVP? Let's dive into why this trend is rubbing everyone the wrong way, and why, if you're not on the list, you're probably missing more than just your name tag. #TogetherinTravel

Post-event hangover is real.🙃 When you step into one of our events, you're not just entering a space—you're entering a portal to a higher energetic frequency. It's emotional. It’s liberating. It’s transformational. It's a lot, in the absolute best of ways! Just like the blues that follow an amazing vacation, returning back to daily life can feel unexpectedly empty or even exhausting. . Here is what you can do: ⭐Acknowledge your feelings - Recognize that what you’re experiencing is completely normal. ⭐Be kind to yourself - Allow yourself time and space to navigate through these emotions. ⭐Journal - Put pen to paper and let your thoughts flow. It's therapeutic! ⭐Rest and ground - Reconnect with yourself through rest and grounding activities. ⭐Get near water - Whether it's a bath, a shower, or a stroll by a lake, water can help wash away residual energy. ⭐Listen to your body - It knows what it needs, whether it’s sleep, exercise, or quiet time. . Hang in there, and remember, you're not alone in this. We all feel this! This is another part of the experience of the extraordinary journey each event takes us on. #bebrightevents #eventplanner #eventplanning #lifechangingevents #enlightenedevents #transformationalevents #lifecoaches #businesscoaches #thoughtleaders #eventplanning #liveevents #inpersonevents #personaldevelopment #posteventblues

Remember to pee. I wrote this as a reminder to our team earlier this month. For #eventprofs, October is one of the busiest months as everyone scrambles to finish events before the holidays. At Spark Event Collective, we're currently managing 11 events across 4 cities in 28 days. It’s exciting, fun, and challenging—but no one is getting burned out. Here’s how: ⬆️ 8 different #eventprofs are leading 11 projects. No one is booked back-to-back, no one handles more than 2 projects, and no one works alone. Every project has enough support to avoid overload. 💁♀️ 9 different #eventprofs have rotated through to provide on-site support. We share the long days, take turns taking time off, and always make sure we have more than enough people on-site to handle the workload. 🆘 4 different #eventprofs have jumped in when someone’s to-do list gets overwhelming. Whether it’s unexpected travel, family commitments, illness, or just life, we make sure every planner has backup from experienced peers. You don’t have to burn out to succeed in #events. You don’t have to subscribe to hustle culture, feel guilty for resting, or skip breaks—yes, you can even stop to pee. Call me if you want to learn more (but go pee first!). #events #eventprofs #endhustleculture

How do you make sure your event is a hit? It can be overwhelming to consider all the factors. Good content, fun activities, great location, tasty food, flowing drinks, etc, etc, etc. It all boils down to the attendee experience. How do you make sure that’s amazing? 1. Define your value proposition What is the “why” of your program? This will drive everything from the format of the event to the theme, messaging, and content. Make sure everyone from your planning team to the executive team is on board with the event’s value proposition so you have a unified guiding light throughout the planning process. 2. Gather the right people From the initial stakeholders who shape the vision to the suppliers who execute the logistics, every member of your planning team plays a pivotal role. Pick these people carefully. Perhaps most importantly, make sure the team you gather on site is a positive influence on your attendee experience. A team that’s running around stressed will certainly have an impact on your attendees. 3. Optimize the physical space The venue sets the stage for attendee experience and engagement. Every detail down to the food you serve for breakfast can impact how attendees perceive your event. Make sure you carefully walk the space during site visits and consider anything that might detract from the attendee experience. What do you consider a non-negotiable in planning your events? #eventprofs #corporateevents #eventmanagement
