Event Planning for creatives: Discussion with celebrity event planner.

Event planning is an important skill for creatives. Events can bring your creative tribe together and help you to promote your creative product, whether the event is a book signing, a product launch, or an art show. Karena Akhavein and Micah Black, your Creative Happy Hour Podcast cohosts, drink Vinho Verde Punch, a great libation to serve at an event, and discuss why to throw an event, and how to do it in the most productive way. We invite guest star Gabrielle Chavigny, a celebrity event planner who has planned celebrity weddings, movie premieres, and other high end soirees. Chavigny explains how an event is not just a normal party, and how to makes sure you have the perfect invitation, guest list, vendors, and entertainment. She regales us with stories of events gone wrong, and sums up how to make sure your creative event goes off without a hitch. So whether you are planning a gallery opening, an open studio, a book signing, a film release, a product launch, or a conference, you will make sure to have a memorable event that will keep paying you back in customer loyalty and community outreach. Join us and get drunk on the creative possibilities.
