Better Events Podcast

We're excited to introduce the Better Events Community! The idea to start the Better Events Community came from you, our listeners! Thank you for the support over the last four seasons and we wanted to launch a community so we can all connect and share resources outside of the podcast episodes. If you've found any value in the podcast we invite you to subscribe for $75/year and get access to: - Better Events Community Discord Channel: Where you can share resources, ask for help, and meet new event pros across the US and around the world. - 1 Exclusive Bonus Episode per Month: Once per month, we’ll drop an episode exclusively for the community, not on our main Better Events feed. We’ll dive deeper into certain topics but also have some fun along the way. - Quarterly Live Virtual Events with Logan & Mary: Let’s chat! We’re going to have quarterly live calls with the community to talk about any topic that’s top of mind, answer your questions, and learn from each other. We look forward to continuing to create, host, and attend Better Events with you! Subscribe here: https://lnkd.in/d_uiJZMq #eventprofs #betterevents
