The Event Host vs. Event Planner Debate: Which One Are You?

Are you an event host, an event planner, or both?

In this episode, I break down the key differences between these roles and help you determine which one fits you best. You’ll learn:

• What defines an event host and how hosting impacts your business.


• What an event planner actually does (hint: it’s more than just logistics!).


• How to manage both roles effectively—or decide when to delegate.


• Why hiring a planner or volunteers can protect your energy & event success.

Whether you’re planning your first event or looking to refine your approach, this episode will help you clarify your role and make strategic decisions to execute a successful event with ease.
