HOW I HIT ROCK BOTTOM BY HITTING THE TOP. “You know, Lara, you’ve got to be first in and last out if you want to make it to the top. Especially if you’re a woman.” ” This was the prolific piece of advice I got, in my early 20s, from my suit-pants-toting, hard-hitting, never-let-’em-see-you-cry-proclaiming, sports-car-driving, 6-figure-making female mentor / boss. My mouth agape and my eyes wide, her words fired like a laser deep into the subcortex of my brain.

If you’re adding to your event – whether it be a new session, a new format, a new call for proposals process, or a new event app – you’re going to have to market it. There is no such thing as automatic buy-in. People need to be told several times about a change if you expect them to take part in it or consume new information. That’s all well and good – but who among us has money to hire a marketing consultant for every little new thing we want to introduce?

James Beard According to research from Successful Meetings magazine, when faced with budget cutbacks 49% of meeting planners cut the F&B budget first. And yet anecdotally, next to conference rooms being too cold, food is the top complaint from attendees on post-event surveys. As a conference organizer, I understand that budgets are not always based on the realities of an optimal customer experience.
