As a wedding professional, your skill sets and talent (whether you have a service or a product), apply to many industries, at many levels. This session is all about how similar the social and corporate events actually are and how easy it is to work successfully in both worlds. Find out how the sales, logistics, coordination and execution techniques and even some design elements that you are using now for weddings can be applied to corporate and nonprofit events.
As a leader in the event industry for two decades, David Merrell has had a diverse career and has owned both a catering and design firm. He has planned high-end weddings and social events, as well as corporate events including multiple-day events both in the United States and abroad, large-scale events and live show productions.
At this session Dave will share event innovation and inspiration that applies to all event professionals as well as his Top 10 things that all event professionals should know.
In this session you will learn:
Expand your business by learning how to reposition your product, service and skills from social to corporate events and back again
•••
