About
The EventTalk was created to provide a space for event planners, event professionals, and individuals involved in event production to learn, connect, create, and share within the industry. Through curated gatherings and expert-led panel discussions, The EventTalk brings together professionals to explore a wide range of topics across the event world.
In addition to live events, The EventTalk is expanding through an online membership platform that gives members access to exclusive content, industry contacts, event data, and valuable resources designed to make it easier to find information, build connections, and support success within the event space. The online portal also features insights, expertise, and real-world knowledge from experienced professionals in the industry, sharing what has worked for them — and what hasn’t — to help others navigate and grow within the events industry.
Learn
Expert-led panels, curated gatherings, and a growing library of insights from working professionals — what’s worked, what hasn’t, and the practical knowledge planners actually use.
Connect
Industry contacts, vendor introductions, and an Insider directory that makes it easier to find the right person for the next event — before you need them.
Create
Event data, planning resources, and structured frameworks members can borrow for run-of-show, vendor briefs, contracts, and recovery plans.
Share
A space for professionals to contribute their own tips and stories — reviewed and credited — so the next planner doesn’t have to learn the same lesson the hard way.
“The version of you that handles a crisis well is the one who wrote the playbook a year ago.”
