With me on the air I have Reggie Johnson, Event Manager and Podcast Host himself, someone who started in events around 2008 doing onsite weddings, corporate events and audio engineering for a studio in Atlanta that hosted live events and concerts. This continued until around 2013 when he left to start a computer business with a partner, while also doing radio in Mississippi. When he came back to Georgia in 2015, he started with a company called Bold Events, which he thought that wasn't going to be a long time position initially, but it was more fun and interesting than anticipated due to the vastly different type of events (normal weddings, wild corporate events, celebrity events that range from influencers to presidents). He launched his Podcast "Reg in ATL" in 2018.

Welcome to a brand new podcast season, a season that is focused on a much-needed topic: Mental and Physical Fitness.
Why? Because of how important this kind of fitness is for any event professional out there that is faced with challenges and needs to build resilience as well as the ability to think clearly and make decisions effectively and efficiently.
Mental fitness, just like physical fitness is just as important and should not be neglected because it helps us prioritize and understand that just as we can improve our physical health by moving our bodies, we can improve our mental health by strengthening our minds.
Taking steps to build our mental fitness enhances our ability to cope with stress and improves our physical health, productivity at work, relationships, and overall happiness.
This Friday, Jan 13th, join me and my good friend, Jason Brown as kick off the season with this first episode during which we demystify our natural bodybuilding journeys in the competitive and many times unfair world of fitness, and how that has helped us professionally and why staying physically and mentally fit is important for #eventprofs and #meetingprofs. So, hang tight, strap on, and enjoy the ride!

"Rehearsals are SO Important", "Generational gaps in tech crews can be so toxic at times", "Power struggles behind the scenes are real", "If you're working an event, be there because you care, not just to collect a paycheck"...
In one of the - sadly - few last episodes of the current running season "Women Behind The Scenes in Events and Event Productions" I have the honor of talking to Michelle Michelson, Teleprompter Operator and owner of Prompsterand discuss some really difficult topics to address but much needed.
Michelle was so gracious to get out of her comfort zone and join me on air, staying open and authentic in our conversation.
She is my kind of woman in events, a small business owner that just like me, is organically grown and hustling to forge her own path in events. She's from NYC with a whole lot of teleprompter expertise and branching out the business to include graphics operating, content, and production managing.
She's been working in events and production for over ten years, starting out in NYC and moving west to Colorado to take on more travel event work and expand the company.
Tune into this episode as we address:
the pros and cons of running a business remotely,
networking and building a community in a unique niche,
growing and expanding while taking on new roles within the events industry and pushing out of your comfort zones,
crew culture and what is like being one of the younger techs on the crew and a female on top of everything else, working on events with gen z / x and boomers, and what conflict resolution looks like,
innovative uses of prompter for events + production.

One of my favorite upcoming featured guests highlighted during the current Events: demystified Podcast's "đđ¨đŚđđ§ đđđĄđ˘đ§đ đđĄđ đđđđ§đđŹ đđ§ đđŻđđ§đđŹ đđ§đ đđŻđđ§đ đđŤđ¨đđŽđđđ˘đ¨đ§đŹ" season, is Jeniffer Bello, CMP, one of my newest friends made during the several industry trade shows, conferences, and FAM trips that we kept running into each other, which made it feel like it was meant to be, a friendship match made in heaven.
Jen is my kind of girl: different, bold, and confident in her own skin.
She doesn't apologize for who she is and she doesn't dim her light just because she might not be everyone's cup of tea.
Talking to her made me feel like I am talking to my twin self and I for once, felt like I belonged. And for someone like me, feeling like belonging to something or someone, is a HUGE deal. So, without further ado, here's Jen's bio.
Jeniffer Bello, CMP - President and Executive Producer; Experiential Design, Meeting Planning with a Purpose, Production Management, Destination Sourcing, and everything in between.
UNIQUE FACTS * Her multicultural background and experience allow her to design and produce experiences for diverse audiences. As a minority, she understands the value of inclusion and brings that into her meetings and events, * She went to school for Scenic and Lighting Design and worked in the technical side of theatre and media production for a good period of time, and she continues to work in Media Production (short films, documentaries, promotional videos, and reels) and every once in a while likes to work on a play, * She has a strong background in Digital Marketing and Branding and now uses this knowledge to help brands create unique experiences for her attendees that fully represent them. It also allows her to always have the guests at the center of the experience.

"You will never know your limits unless you push yourself to them".
As the world of events started to open back up, many #eventprofs (including myself) have been packing their bags a whole lot this summer after an almost two year down-time, and so re-learning what staying healthy while on the road and long events days remains a big priority, especially amid COVID-19. Tune into this brand new rant as I am demystifying the complex dilemma of keeping healthy, eating healthy and sticking to a fitness routine during long show days and weeks that run one into each other. Throw a fitness bodybuilding competition into the mix, and letâs see how can one handle it...
PS: Do send my way your positive vibes, prayers, etc and wish me luck as I am deep in Prep this week, in the midst of Peak Week, and I will be traveling to the WA state for the Olympic Natural INBF competition that will take place on Sept 3rd. A lot of hard work went into the package I'll be presenting on stage.

âWomen, unlike men, are rarely perceived to be both competent and likable."
Today's RANT dives deep into the likability dilemma for women leaders or boss ladies, competence vs liability, a topic very much inspired by a recent TED talk I listened to, as well as some real-world case studies and recent event experiences from the world of AV event productions.
You can fill a room with studies on leadership that hail the importance of being a likable, honest, caring, and modest boss, but the truth is, as much as we talk about it, in the marketplace, thatâs not what people want most. When people have a chance to choose whom to work with, and their own success depends in part on those people, a new study finds that cold competence becomes more important and likability less so.
When money is on the line, in other words, most people would rather work for a very competent jerk than a nice but less competent boss.
Tune into this brand new RANT to find out where do I fall on this debate continuum and if you agree with me, or disagree.

One of my biggest pet peeves in personal and business relationships is poor communication. And so I started asking myself, how does one get better at communicating? Is it nature or nurtured skill set? To answer the question I invited a MASTER COMMUNICATOR, Brenden Kumarasamy, founder of MasterTalk, where he coaches ambitious executives & entrepreneurs to become the top 1% communicators in their industry. He also has a popular YouTube channel called MasterTalk, with the goal of providing free access to communication tools for everyone in the world. Fun fact about Brenden, he can karaoke in 8 languages, while speaking 3 fluently: English, French, and Tamil.

"No expectations, no disappointments." - Unknown
Have you ever attended an event where the expectation was so high and you were left with this yucky aftertaste, because that was not what all that hype was made about, and what you experienced instead was a watered-down version of an event you had such high hopes for?
Or, you couldn't attend an event and you were so excited to attend virtually, just to be there and partake in the experience, even if digitally, only for the stream to fail, the audio to be crappy, or the networking to be inexistent because the chat was disabled and the platform didn't allow for any other type of interaction. If youâve experienced any of these scenarios, stay tuned, weâre diving in there for one-of-a-kind Rant!

âThe beginning of wisdom is the definition of terms.ââ Socrates.
Let me ask you a question. What do you think of when you hear Live Event Production? Does that ring the same in your mind, with Virtual Event Production? Today I am on a rant to discuss the two, and then some. My hope is to demystify the differences that exist between all these digital event terms and where event production intersects with technology to deliver a fantastic event.
So, if you landed on this Rant by mistake, let me assure you: youâre in the right place, you're taking the time to learn, brush up on your skills, or even develop new skills and lay down a foundation for what could be new opportunities, and I am so glad youâre here, I appreciate you for carving this time and making the time investment for yourself, but also for your team, your clients and the future of your career in the industry.

Toxic masculinity refers to the notion that some people's idea of âmanlinessâ perpetuates domination, manipulation, and aggression.
Ok, this Rant literally took me several months of consideration if I should release it or not. It's not an easy topic to address nor to talk about. In the best-case scenario, I expect to be misunderstood, maybe my motives to be called into question for releasing this episode, and for my experiences to be downplayed. Let it be so then because I know my experience is not an isolated one, and there are many women in the AV event production industry that have quietly carried the weight of their experiences and stories alone, not having the courage to speak up, or being afraid of the consequences to be paid for speaking up.
The truth is, there will always be consequences, that's the reality of the times we live in, some consequences will be larger than others, some more impactful than others. I am ready to take my share by releasing this episode. You, the listener, be the judge of it and if you do identify even slightly with what I am sharing, please add your voice to the choir. Nobody should have to feel alone when sharing parts of their story. Let's be there for each other!

"Colors, like features, follow the changes of the emotions" - Pablo Picasso
Did you ever feel anxious in a yellow room? Does the color blue make you feel calm and relaxed?
In the 5th rant brought to you by Events: demystified Podcast, I'm making the case for color and what a powerful communication tool it is, and how it can be used to signal action, influence mood, and even influence physiological reactions. I am also sharing how I am totally fond of this one particular color that inspired higher thinking in me during a situation when I was about to unleash a nuclear amount of passion onto someone that had it coming for them.
But I didn't and I'm so proud of myself, and I'm possibly crediting my self-control to this one color that you might wanna surround yourself with, during stressful situations.
Also, this if not news, artists and interior designers have long believed to be true: color can dramatically affect moods, feelings, and emotions. However, your feelings about color are often deeply personal and rooted in your own experience or culture. Tune in to find out how a certain color has inspired a level of generosity beyond anything else I've ever seen before!

Almost to the date, beginning of 2020 I was sitting down, in my studio, with IBL Events co-founder, Anna Marie Aldinger recording Episode #10 and discussing trade shows and the news of this new virus that we didn't know much about at the time... How much has our world has changed since then?
And so, circling back on the show today I have Nick Aldinger, the CEO of IBL Events, one of Idahoâs largest producers of trade shows and conferences, and we get to answer that question, as well as explore a few interesting topics during today's conversation, such as leadership lessons learned during challenging times, embracing change and finding a new business stream during a time when most event organizers, especially in the tradeshow space, struggled to stay afloat, and how do trade shows perform in the virtual event space.

"I will not reason and compare: my business is to create.â - William Blake
In the 4th rant brought to you by Events: demystified Podcast, I am getting a bit annoyed at everyone that pretends that their event is better than all the other events out there, regardless if it's coming from a planner, a producer, a supplier, vendor, organizer or client. If you've been in the industry for a while like I have, the chances are there's nothing new under the sun and you've seen it all.
Living under the presumption that you are the only one capable to plan, produce, execute said event, and making it so unique, the aliens would like to get your number, it's egotism and arrogance. Somewhere down the line I also go into event platforms that are just as presumptions and once you get me started there, who knows where else I'll go?
Guess you'll have to tune in and find out!
And side note, the NEW series: "She said WHAT? The Rant Series" - is where I go off the caff and say it as it is, tackling anything and everything in the AV production, technology, and event industry that not a lot of people are willing to talk about.

"Words are free. It's how you use them that may cost you." - Unknown
In this 3rd rant brought to you by Events: demystified Podcast, I am repeating myself, not because I've got nothing better to do, but because I just ran into a similar situation in which the AV supplier I was working with used the "AV guys" term several times during our conversation, even as I was visibly annoyed by how unaware they were and I couldn't wait to explain why them using those were in that context felt like an insult to me and all (not many, but still - and why is that I wonder?!) the amazing female AV techs that I have worked with for the past almost two decades of AV production. And if I must repeat myself like a broken record until everyone gets the memo, let it be so!
And side note, the NEW series: "She said WHAT? The Rant Series" - is where I go off the caff and say it as it is, tackling anything and everything in the AV production, technology, and event industry that not a lot of people are willing to talk about.

"Trying to predict the future is a loser's game." - Ken Liu
In this 2nd rant brought to you by Events: demystified Podcast, I am questioning the logic behind some of the event decisions made to go back to in-person full-steam ahead with what seemed to have been little considerations to how the attendees might feel about it, especially the ones who are not yet comfortable to join large gatherings, yet are left without an option because your event does not give them one.
I must profess from the get-go and say that some of my passion so visibly expressed does not mean harm nor ill intentions, it is my way of expressing a ton of feelings and sentiments on any particular topic which I feel strongly about. It might come across as belligerence, but rest assured, it is purely genuine passion because the NEW series: "She said WHAT? The Rant Series" - is where I go off the caff and say it as it is, tackling anything and everything in the AV production, technology, and event industry that not a lot of people are willing to talk about.

âWho in the world am I? Ah, that's the great puzzle.â â Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland
Welcome to Events: demystified Podcast's NEW series: "She said WHAT? The Rant Series" - where I go off the caff and say it as it is, tackling anything and everything in the AV production, technology, and event industry that not a lot of people are willing to talk about. The Rant Series is short and spicy, comes out twice a month, in between the more tamed interview-style episodes. Today I'm tackling the hard task of figuring out what the hell did I turn from being pretty much a rockstar to a corporate 'suit', and was this turn a good or a bad one. Stay tuned as I shared, never shared before, spicy details from my 'rockstar days', all the way back to my radio Dj-ing days. I think you will find this episode quite entertaining.

First off, Happy New Year (crossing fingers it's still "happy"). Secondly, welcome to our FOURTH Season, how awesome is that!
Since I decided to do something new and get off the hamster wheel where every podcast in this space is sharing what they hope the 2022 trends might be for the industry, I will just share my heart and what my hope is for this new Podcast season and brand new year. If you can take a bit of raw sharing with a small side of rambling, I will take you on a journey of what 2022 might look like for you, our loyal audience!
And since I'm not a grinch (not that I know of), here's a link to 2022 Event Trends for your reading's enjoyment.

As we approach the final days of 2021, I am incredibly grateful, inspired by, and proud of the remarkable people who make up the event industry. In this episode, I will cover seven main takeaways from the many episodes recorded and conversations had, one of the main takeaways being:
"Donât forget the things youâve learned in 2021".
But I have also taken the liberty to go somewhat rogue and expressed some of my professional challenges, something I have never talked about on this podcast.
This past year has tested me in so many ways, from losing family members to COVID to losing young girlfriends to cancer, to having to rebuild my business from the ground up, but it has also tested us as industry professionals in ways other people did not experience nor understand.
This has not been easy, and however, as I sit and reflect today, I remain in awe of each of our clients, partners, listeners, and our event industry as a whole.
We had all hoped that we would launch into 2022 with excitement, hope, and positivity⌠ready to set fear and uncertainty aside.
We are far more prepared for the challenges that lay ahead, and while it can be scary and frustrating to be faced again with yet another uncertainty, this is a fight we will not lose.
Every event I've worked on requires a diverse team in order for that project to be successful, and many events turned out to be a 1000-piece jigsaw puzzle; and in order for all the pieces to fit in the right place, we must have the right partners around us in order to create pictures and tell stories that create impactful and memorable experiences.
Once that happens, what a gift that is, to our clients, and all those in attendance that are impacted tremendously.
So, while it may not be how we believed 2021 would end and 2022 would unfold, we remain hopeful that this is just another bump in the road.
Thank you for your commitment to my small but fierce production agency and to this podcast.
My wish for each of you is that these last days of this year and the first of 2022 find you surrounded by those whom you love and fill your heart with joy: your family, friends, and even co-workers, celebrating what is most important and what you're passionate about.
Without you, I could not do what we are doing over here. Your ongoing loyalty, your feedback, and your donations are what fuels our efforts, and we thank you in advance for your continued support.
Happy New Year Friends!
Your Host,
Anca Trifan

This is âEvents: demystifiedâ brought to you by Tree-Fan Events with your host, Anca. While the work of a good planner is to make sure the event goes off without a hitch, the work of great event designers is to make that event memorable by allowing the creative juices to start flowing freely in order to create the feel, look, and atmosphere that not only matches the brand or the cause but also impresses attendees and leaves them with a positive memory long after the event is over. With that thought in mind, join me for a fun conversation around experience design solutions for virtual and hybrid events with experience architect, John Pistotti of Endless Events.
A few fun facts about John:
his first job was as banquet staff for parties at the Playboy Mansion, LA
he worked as a sushi chef,
he was also an adventure guide leading trips up Half Dome in Yosemite, midnight snowshoeing in Lake Tahoe, and mountain biking in Santa Cruz.

HUGE honor to feature Julius Solaris on today's episode, currently the head of engagement at Swapcard, previously known as the founder and editor in chief of EventMB, acquired in 2019 by Skift, the largest and most influential travel media company worldwide.

This is âEvents: demystifiedâ brought to you by Tree-Fan Events and I'm your host, Anca. On todayâs episode I have Dan Berger, the Founder and former CEO of Social Tables - and if youâve been in events for at least a day, youâve most likely heard and used Social Tables for your events - which he sold to Cvent in October of 2018. Prior to Social Tables, Dan worked in management consulting and served as a member of Congress.
During today's episode we get to demystify the idea of community, what does it mean for a post-pandemic world, what does it look like in the marketplace and ultimately, how do you build it for events moving forward with IRL & Hybrid.
In Dan's own words: "Belonging serves as an overall indicator of whether or not youâve successfully built a real Community. Communities should feel exclusive to those who are a part of them. Why? Part of who we are is defined by who we arenât. When everyone belongs, no one belongs."
Stay tuned for additional tips shared by Dan, a true entrepreneur at heart, that left quite a legacy behind at Social Tables.

What should you expect from this episode?
Firstly, I will share a few thoughts with you since I just celebrated this past weekend another trip around the Sun and I am so grateful for being here, being alive and well!

This is âEvents: demystifiedâ brought to you by Tree-Fan Events and I'm your host, Anca.
On the show with me today I have Emee Pumarega of EJP Events, a veteran of the hospitality and event industry, who began working in hospitality and events over 20 years ago, bringing a world of event knowledge in handling events as diverse as all-weekend wedding bashes; international activist conferences; and corporate milestone celebrations. We will be discussing time management when planning virtual events (meetings and conferences) and other important tips related to networking and surrounding yourself with friendors that support your virtual event's production.
A few fun facts about Emee:
she is the child of immigrants from the Philippines; herself and her siblings and I are the first of our family to be born in the US,
she once thought she would be a scientist or researcher and studied science at Yale,
she finds the recent surge of storytelling in business interesting, and always wants to reference it back to Indigenous culture and practice rather than think of it as a purely business or US American practice that âcomes out of nowhereâ.

Welcome to a new episode of âEvents: demystifiedâ brought to you by Tree-Fan Events, with your host, Anca.
To celebrate our 30th episode in style, Iâve invited with me on the air, a featured guest that knows how to have a good time and how-to enable his audience to have a fantastic time as well! The president and founder of California Coast Auctions and co-founder of Idaho Benefit Auctions, Zach Krone, has designed his business with one goal in mind: to unite the world of entertainment with the world of fundraising. In 2019, Zack has done an impressive 265 in-person events and 54 virtual events in 2020. He believes that the spirit, community, and excitement of a live auction is the best way to raise money, awareness, and generate interest in an organization and that you have to give people a reason to walk through your doors, or in a virtual format, stay glued to a screen, and the best way to do that is by entertaining and inspiring people in the process. Tune in for a fantastic episode with Benefit Auctioneer Specialist, Virtual Fundraising Expert, Zack Krone!

Welcome to our new episode this month! Today my goal is to introduce to you a helpful tool with a great number of features to assist in raising much needed funds during this pandemic via virtual fundraising, and for that, guess what, I have a surprise for you! I have another guest with me today and we will be talking about this tool that any organization that is looking to fundraise and raise much needed funds needs to know about. This episode is very much targeted towards the nonprofit sector more so than our general thematic episodes where we talk about event and audio-visual productions, but even so and even if this is not necessarily your interest point, I believe there will be a lot of opportunities to learn about something that normally is not part of your repertoire, if you may, so tag along and maybe learn a thing or two, and in the wise words of Jack Lewmann, âNever stop learning, for when we stop learning, we stop growingâ.

A virtual conversation about Virtual Events from a Nonprofit Fundraising Expert Point of View, because this month is a huge celebration for us! Weâre turning ONE! This July weâre celebrating one year of being on the air aiming to demystify the world of audiovisual and lighting for events and revealing to you everything thatâs related to event productions, behind the scenes tricks of the trade, as well as insightful tips, strategies, tactics and perspectives which hopefully have helped and will continue to do so, to plan and produce successful events of all types, sizes, and formats: in-person, virtual or hybrid. Because as we discussed in our previous episode, virtual events, in one capacity or another, are here to stay and weâre excited to have the opportunity to share from the front lines our experience with producing virtual events. In order to diversify this experience for you, our audience, and give you a wide range of what itâs like to plan events during this season, I decided to do something different this month and invite several event professionals from all parts of the event industry to have a virtual conversation about virtual events, and what it's like to plan events during this time, according to their experience, in this new reality of planning and producing events.
Our first featured guest is Lauren Dully Clark, Principal Consultant and Founder of Raise Agent, based in Portland, Oregon, and working with clients throughout the Pacific Northwest and beyond.

To say that a lot has changed in the event space over the last few months is an understatement, but there is some light at the end of the tunnel and we'd like to share with you a few important virtual event details that you need to provide your event producer or AV partner for a successful event. We've already seen some great requests from clients looking to dive back in and we're excited to see our industry come together to keep it strong. Over the past few months, we have served and assisted many organizations with their virtual events, especially virtual fundraising during a time when many non-profit and for-profit fundraisers have feared that they will not be able to meet their annual budget goals. By pivoting to virtual, as a matter of fact, many of these organizations have raised more than they projected or hoped that they would, some way above previous yearâs fundraising. And the good news doesnât stop there, by going virtual, theyâve opened up to an online audience that otherwise they would have not been able to reach, an audience that could very much become a live in-person audience, in the near future. Virtual events, in one capacity or another, are here to stay and weâre glad to have this opportunity to share with you our tips and experience on producing virtual events so far, our hope being that more organizations would consider transitioning to virtual events and we could be a fit for you and your virtual event management and production needs.
In this episode, Iâm going to talk more about virtual events, about the type of information and content you need to consider and have prepared and ready before the date of your virtual event. We are here and ready to partner with you in transitioning your events to virtual, even beyond the post-Covid19 era, going into Hybrid Events - because you know thatâs coming. We are taking steps to educate ourselves on ways to make event spaces safe and compliant so that future event attendees feel safe and ready to engage again in-person. Before we go on, download HERE your free RFP template that we will discuss in great detail and explore together during today's episode!

First off, a warm and very virtual HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY to all of you mothers out there! Today is a day for honoring all the women in our life who support and nurture us, from our sisters to our grandmothers to our mothers in law. Mothers, in any form motherhood might have taken for - you deserve to be celebrated especially during times such as these! Let's take a moment to stop and reflect on all of the hard work our mothers do!
COVID-19 has been devastating for most small businesses, including my own. For most event organizers, promoters, music venues, and entities in the live events industry this virus has been a complete âshow stopper.â Tens of thousands of live events have been shut down and nobody knows how long the live events ban will last. Event Organizers are faced with an unprecedented crisis that is affecting every city and every state in the United States, and worldwide. The coronavirus is forcing us to make tough decisions on a daily basis.
I will be talking about some of those decisions during today's Podcast Episode and provide a few tactical steps that can be taken right now to help ensure the long-term survival of our events and our businesses. Right now is the time to learn something new, embrace the new way of doing events, learn the technology behind it, make an investment in this new knowledge which will pay the best interest long term.
I hope you will join me by tuning in on all major podcasting platforms as we will be exploring this topic together!

Four weeks indoors as a family can make a few things clear. You will know if your marriage is stable and if you truly love your children. You will know if you can keep yourself occupied for a lot of hours. You will also know for certain if you love or hate puzzles, science projects and board games. I always had a feeling I hated puzzles but was not 100% sure of that until recently. I am now certain; I despise them.
All jokes aside, the reality is, we are all struggling to deal with the recent outbreak of COVID-19 virus, which will have both short- and long-term impact, and moving forward with scenario planning for a range of uncertainties pertaining to the proceeding and recovering in the months and even years ahead. When facing uncertainty or crisis, identifying reliable and timely sources of information is critical to making responsible decisions. And I totally understand how this is a stressful time for everyone and people want to know what they can do now to protect themselves and their families.
In this episode, I will be talking exactly about that and sharing a bit of my experience in the quarantine.
I hope you will join me by tuning in on all major podcasting platforms as we will be exploring this topic together!

In this episode, I have the honor of interviewing IRL, Anna Marie Aldinger, the president, and owner of IBL Events, one of the largest producers of consumer trade shows in Idaho. We will cover topics such as personal strategies to handle multiple projects at the same time, tips to overcome event stress, the type of return an exhibitor should expect from a trade show, how to create a visually appealing booth, marketing tactics to ensure success before and after exhibiting at a trade show and of course, the growing concerns about the spread and impact of the COVID-19 virus (aka coronavirus) and the type of precautions a meeting professionals should take, if and when should they cancel their event and the type of plan that should be in place not just for the organizers but also for venues, keeping attendee's health and safety on top of mind.
This episode was a lot of fun recording and I sure hope you will tune in on any major podcasting platforms as we will be exploring this new topic together!

In this episode I will be talking about ways of getting the most out of your AV partner, I will be discussing AV RFPs or proposals, what it takes to hire an AV supplier or vendor and what questions would you be asking when partnering with a new AV provider. While AV provider is used quite a lot in the industry, I like to refer to this title as AV partner, because what you really want out of this relationship is a partnership, you want someone that will have your back and look out for you, will understand your vision, will work tirelessly towards accomplishing your goals, and will basically provide more than just AV. Remember, youâre hiring a provider to manage a significant portion of your event for you. If you donât trust them as your partners then theyâre not the right fit for you. A true partner will offer input based on their experience & expertise, even in areas that theyâre not technically being âpaidâ to oversee, and that simple act can make a world of difference in the outcome of your next event because you should be looking for more than just an equipment provider. This will be a great topic for any event planner and professional that finds themselves in the position to create such new partnerships and relations. So stick around and letâs explore this topic together!

Happy New Year to all of you event professionals out there! May this year, this decade even, signify the greatest successes and achievements of your life!

So stick around as I will be going over some amazing tech trends covering different topics, including digital transformation, improved personalization, event data, and two most commonly noted: artificial intelligence (AI) and a wide array of applications for virtual and augmented reality (VR and AR). My goal with this podcast is to bring you the latest event technology tips, ideas, trends, and strategies to run successful events, a guide to better understand how event technology is used in events.
Strategy, intelligence, and ideas to make technology work for your event!

The levels of stress an event professional goes through are pretty incredible. CareerCast made event planning the 4th most stressful job of the year. 4th most stressful, right after Airline Pilots, Police officers and broadcasters. I mean, some days it feels like Iâm landing the plane if know what I mean and some days I just ain't with how much stuff is going on. Newsflash: stress levels this high are not good for you!
While everybody in the industry (me included) goes through this especially during our busiest of seasons when weâre not just planning and producing one event, but many back to back events we all seem so focused on our work and tend to forget about the body that keeps everything going. And so, if this bonus episode will help you take one of the five tips shared and implement it as a healthy habit, my mission will be accomplished.

I come to you today to have a conversation about Best Practices for Sound, Video, Graphics and Lighting for Events because rarely would you plan an event these days that doesn't require the use of some form of AV and Lighting. I wonât dive too deep into Sound as I did during my last episode, but I will spend some extra time towards the end on Lighting and how used strategically, it influences how we think and feel, so stay tuned for some insight and a better understanding on how we innately respond to lighting cues and how specific colours can create specific, immediate human responses!

In the spirit of understanding each other better, letâs start with the importance of good event sound in a venue for meetings and events, the equipment that you should have at a minimum and what are some of the common problems when it comes to sound. So hereâs a true fact that many of you might disagree with: Hearing someone speaking at an event is more important than seeing them. Think about it for a moment. If youâre sitting in the audience at a sales meeting and thereâs a problem with the slides, it may not be ideal, but the speaker can still deliver his presentation and hopefully carry their point across. If youâre attending a fundraising event and the benefit auctioneer canât be heard, not only would that be very frustrating but they literally canât do their job effectively and you just lost thousands of dollars in possible donations. If the sound is garbled, not clear, distorted or not eq-ed properly bidders wonât bid. As simple as that.
So, what does EQ-ing mean?
Whatâs up with watts? What is a watt? What is an SPL and why is it all this important?
What is one rule of thumb when it comes to loudspeakers to audience ratio?
What is a time alignment processor and why do you need one?
What is the other one most important ingredient in the making of good sound for your events?
What's the one tip to get presenters and speakers to show up for sound check?

My goal is to share with you insightful tips, strategies, tactics, and perspectives which will help you plan and produce successful events of all types and sizes, regardless of your AV budget. Whether you are a beginner or a veteran, I want to provide you with enough relevant information that will take your events to the next level. You donât need to be as fluent as your technician but knowing how things work will improve your ability to identify your AV needs, and especially manage your eventâs AV budget!
Iâve always been naturally a technologically curious person and because of that, tech feels very comfortable to me and while I want to hope it comes just as natural to many others, the reality is, most event planners are terrified of tech, donât want to deal with anything technology and especially technology went wrong. I get that and thatâs where I hope to come into play. Tree-Fan Events was born out of the desire to create memorable events in partnership with my clients but also to educate our clients whenever the opportunity arises about the importance of working with professionals and what our role is as audiovisual providers in the fast-growing events industry.Using quality AV equipment by highly skilled professionals is mostly always a recipe for success with the end result most favorable and memorable.
So in this episode, letâs talk AV and why is it so important for events?
Studies have shown that the use of AV in classrooms is highly effective as it stimulates the class better which results in improved learning and higher grades for students. The same is true for all types of events that require audience connection and participation. So let's explore more!

I canât believe that weeks and months of planning and strategizing have led to my very first podcast! Iâm super excited to be bringing this content to you! My goal and desire over the years have always been to empower you: the event planners, the event coordinators, the executive assistants, the development directors, the marketing relation coordinators, the special event associates, the event's ambassadors â you name it, basically anyone that has ever planned an event (aside from their birthday party) and whom at one time or another had to make some big decisions regarding technology and event audio-visual. I think theyâre so much to be learned and my goal is to give you one extra tool in that shiny toolbox of yours that you go-to day in, day out in your everyday hustle in this world called: events. In each episode, we will touch on a topic related to technical planning, audio-visual and lighting management, and productions of events. Iâm super excited to kick this off and I sure hope youâre coming along!

"Events: demystified" Podcast is also the producer of the mini-RANT series, where we go off the caff and say it as it is, tackling anything and everything in the av production, technology, and event industry at large that not a lot of people are willing to talk about. The Rant series is short and spicy and comes out twice a month, in between the more tamed interview-based episodes where entrepreneurs, event professionals, influences, and event industry leaders from our event community share their personal & professional expertise with our audience.
