Summary
We just wrapped up our first Dinner Series event and this might just be our favorite event we're doing right now. We have over 12 productions we're putting on this year and with over 14 years of experience hosting incredible, transformative events down to a science. In this episode, I break down how far in advance we start planning, how to choose the perfect venue, and how to negotiate everything for your event. I also share the unexpected $25k expense that ended up saving the night at the Dinner Series. If you've ever wanted to run your own successful events, this episode is full of lessons I've learned from over 14 years of trial and error so you can avoid the mistakes and hit the ground running.
