Technology You Should Be Using in Your Events Business
Session Speaker: Lauren Grech
30 mins
I’m going to start out with admitting a major secret - I hate technology. Seriously, it’s so hard. It’s hard for me to keep up with Tik Tok, Instagram, Clubhouse, my clients, event planning, sales, virtual networking, and the list goes on!
In 2020 I think we all realized where we needed technology most in our business. Contract signing changed, task management became remote, I could no longer rely on my daily planner for scheduling, instead I needed a shareable google calendar.
Social media and technology became a must have for running an events business. In this session I’m going to be sharing some of the technology I use to run my business, sales, manage my team and clients, and all the secrets to keeping me organized, efficient, and most importantly sane! Come fall in love with technology and I’ll show you how to grow your team and your revenue.
