Flash Friday: How To Ace the Discovery Phase of Event Design

Online

You’ve started working on a new event, with new clients or stakeholders and you’re starting from scratch – how do you go from square one to designing a plan for your event to meet all of the strategic objectives?

In the design and discovery phase, we ask A LOT of questions!

They know what success looks like to their teams, their organizations, and their constituents.
