Tell Us What You Need to Know

Your opinion will help us Build Better Events. Your "need to know" will help us make workshops more relevant. Your opinion is important.

You might have been a part of the previous Kzoo Event Academy workshops hosted in an effort to share tid-bits of knowledge about events and words of advise to not make the same mistakes. Events are challenging because you produce them as they are consumed, so it is always evolving. This is why learning, sharing, and story-telling is so important in helping the novice and the seasoned event manager successful.

At KELC/Kzoo Event Academy, are continuing the educational workshops but flipping them to a Lunch-n-Learn series where we will bring in panelist to share their knowledge on a topic. As we build the series topics, we'd love to know what you need to know.

Hosted on the first Mondays of the month, the Lunch-n-Learn sessions will be from 11:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Below is the start of some topic areas based on what event planners have said are challenging event areas. We are sure that there are more, so there is a place to tell us what other topics are good to address.

And, if you want to just chat about the topics, give us a call. We love chatting about events: deb@eventkalamazoo.com | 269-330-6202.
