5 Event Influencers to Follow: Event Planning Royalty

CEO of Amazon, Jeff Bezos once said, “In business what’s dangerous is not to evolve.”

Replace ‘dangerous’ with ‘lethal’ and that’s the outcome for many companies who failed to innovate. Remember Blockbuster? Sure you do, because they are just a memory now. Borders…more like boarded up.

In reality, everything is in constant transformation. Whether it’s virtual reality, live streaming capabilities or the use of sophisticated event apps, event planners are forced to stay up to date in order to deliver engaging and profitable experiences.

So, how are you evolving your event planning expertise? What are you doing, how are you doing it and which event influencers are you following to stay ahead of the game?
