"Less Work, More Balance – Apps & Tips for People Who Want to Get a Life"
This no-BS session is built for the multitasking magic-makers of the event world. We’ll dive into the apps, hacks, and old-school sanity savers that help juggle work demands and family life without losing your mind (or your sense of humor). From clever delegation hacks to sanity-saving reminders, you’ll walk away with doable, real-life solutions to streamline your day and carve out space for what matters most — at work and at home. Whether you’re chasing deadlines, school pickups, or just five minutes of peace, you’ll leave with practical, guilt-free ways to simplify, delegate, and actually breathe. Because productivity isn’t about doing more — it’s about making room for what matters.

Tap into the power of shared experience during our Peer Discussion Roundtables! In this fast-paced, interactive session, you’ll rotate through three 30-minute small-group discussions—each centered on a different hot topic relevant to events. Led by fellow professionals, these peer-facilitated conversations are your chance to ask questions, share insights, and learn what’s working (and what’s not) from others in the field. Whether you're seeking fresh ideas, troubleshooting a challenge, or just looking to connect, this is your space to collaborate and grow.
3:30pm - 4:30pm - Educational Session
"Planning for Safety" We all hope for smooth sailing, but what happens when the unexpected hits? Safety shouldn’t be an afterthought—it should be baked into your event from day one. This interactive session will empower you to take ownership of your event’s safety plan, rather than leaving it up to chance or someone else. From patrons and performers to volunteers and vendors, everyone depends on you to be prepared. Learn how to identify risks, build a culture of safety among your team, and collaborate with local first responders to ensure everyone goes home safe. Bring your questions, concerns, and ideas—we’re diving into real-world solutions together.
