My apologies for taking so long to do my Eventology recap. It’s been pretty busy since I returned from Indianapolis. So without further ado…
We started our first morning of the conference with the Welcome Address from Linnyette Richardson-Hall of Premiere Event Management and Ali Phillips of Engaging Events by Ali. They had great icebreakers so that we could get to know a little about others at our table. They also encouraged us to get the most out of our time there…education, networking and fun.
After lunch we moved right into our full day of learning. Our first workshop was “Brand Success” with Harmony Walton of Bridal Bar. Harmony’s core message was basically once you know who YOU are and what you do best then you can determine your target client. Also, your brand, your appearance and how you present your business (website, business collateral, etc) should be consistent and cohesive. The next workshop was “Priced to Sell” with Saundra Hadley of Planning Forever Events and Saundra Hadley Sales Coach. Pricing in the wedding industry is always a hot topic and Saundra gave us some great tools on how to price and sell ourselves in any market. The last workshop of the day was “LawGLOSS” with NaShara Mitchell of Ready to Blush. Although NaShara is a makeup artist, she is also a soon-to-be attorney. She addressed contracts and trademarks, copyrights, etc for intellectual property.
Day one provided me with tons of information and I have tons of notes to prove it. Check back for a recap of day 2.
