Hey community - I just worked with the most awesome vendor, EVA. and wanted to share them as they are so helpful for not only finding entertainment and speakers, but for booking/managing them for such a bargain! If you need help sourcing speakers, entertainers, DJ's, teambuilding, in a pinch, they can handle it all, and even handle the contracting, payment, logistics (optional). Literally saved me probably a week's worth of time and also the peace of mind that they vet all the talent so you know you're going to have a quality vendor and a dedicated POC to manage. If you'd like an intro to the leadership team, please LMK. Attaching their flyer here as well.
I’d love an intro as well. Thanks!
@EventPlanner2208 you bet - what's the best email?

Thank you!!
you bet Kelly!
Just met with them! Thank, Gianna! Excited.
That’s great! Aren’t they wonderful?! What are you planning?
They are great! Oh we are planning all the things. So many. Team events, client events, and even referring them to my EA network group I created. This will be a huge lift for EAs in general since events land on them a lot, and when the focus should be on an executive, adding on planning an event takes focus away from supporting an executive properly. Hopefully can give both sides an assist.
Amazing! What company are you with?

I'll connect with you on LinkedIn. LMK if your group of EA's could ever benefit from an AMA with me, or event consulting support. I recently launched my own business full time, although I have a book and an event planning course and have been consulting part time since 2019! (GiannaGaudini.com)
And happy to send you a signed copy of my book or do a giveaway with your group if that would be interesting!
(I love EA's and they are the most under-appreciated group).
i would love that! Msging you LI now
great! LI won't let me message you back for some reason. Want to email me at [email hidden]?
And LMK your mailing so I can send you a signed book 🙂
Can chat tomorrow at 1pm PST or Friday at 1, 1:30 or 2:30 PST?
Hey yall! We are currently looking for an interactive engagement piece for a tradeshow booth in Miami.

Hi all! We're looking for an event to bring ~30 folks to in San Francisco in November. Things like sporting events suites (but on a weekday - so no 49ers, and the Warriors are a no-go) or big public events where we can treat our people like VIPs. Any locals have any suggestions? TY!

I am looking for a premium/high end event space for about 100 people for a one day event in November that also has space for breakouts in San Francisco.

<!here>, we're kicking off this channel to be a dedicated space to support one another as event tech continues to rapidly evolve. This post on LinkedIn inspired me to ask - are you willing to share your event tech stack with the group here? It might help inspire other members to look into new solutions, or ask for your more specific advice or opinion on tech you currently use. As a reminder, we also have the #ai-for-events channel for those interested.

We could use some help from this amazing community -- we are trying to source venues in Boston and SF for June and our client has little to no money. We've looked at Loft on Two in Boston - and similar locations in SF (but they are just too pricey).
1 1/2 day program
150 people in SF and 75 people in BOS
Need main presentation room + 2 small breakout rooms + space to serve lunch
If the venue has built in AV, that is a plus b/c our AV budget is super small too.
Any ideas you may have is much appreciated.
