5 EVENT MANAGEMENT TIPS FOR POST-EVENT FOLLOW-UPS

As an event planner, your work is really only getting started when the event ends. After that comes more grunt work; with every event comes prospective customers that you have to nurture to secure as a potential long-term client.

Use these five tips along with your event apps, event management staff, and post-event production tactics.

Event professionals have many details to attend to throughout the entire planning process, from the event guest list app to the branded wet nap! When looking for talent to work your events, the same attention to detail must be maintained.

Here are four qualities your event staff should have.

3 private entrances
Guest capacity: 150-300 people (150 classroom/cabaret, 300 cocktail/theater, 200 dinner

tented and climate-controlled or open-air plans available
