September is Event Planning Month!

Happy Labor Day everyone!  Labor day is a creation of the labor movement and is dedicated to the social and economic achievements of American workers.  So, I am going to spend all month talking about a passion of mine.  Event planning!  I have always done it as a part of my job function for almost my entire career and really have been doing it full time for the last 6 years.  I love getting people together, doing something special, and getting "ish" done.  Whether it being sharing information so everyone is all on the same page, weighing options to make a decision or showing off your company and/or product, for a lack of better words at the moment, I love every part of it!

So to start our meeting today here is my agenda for the month!

Week 1 - Meetings

We will delve into on-site vs. off-site meetings, how to put together the perfect agenda, adding those special touches and even share with you my top 10 places to go to or order in from for your next meeting.

Week 2 - Client Appreciation

I'll share some great ideas for the Fall here in the Northwest to show your thanks to the people that help pay your bills as well as some tips on how to get people to attend and even some ways to reach out to them on a personal level.

Week 3 - Employee Appreciation

Some fun ways to celebrate employees without even leaving the office and a couple to get out from behind the desks, and why it is important to allow people to escape for a bit and bond!

Week 4 - Promotional Events

I give you my must have tips for putting together that perfect tradeshow booth, how to get the most out of your sponsorship and even how to bring the business right to your front door.

I am excited for the Fall weather, scarves and chunky sweaters, pumpkin patches and butternut squash, but even more to share with you my passion for event planning all September long!

Cheers!
