Past workshops have filled quickly. Early registration is encouraged.
Please Note:
Participation in this workshop is in no way intended as a 'requirement' or a 'step' toward representation by Agency. The Agency does NOT acquire speakers through workshops.
Event Planning 101 is open to anyone involved in Christian event planning, and secular event planners are welcome as well since many of the principles apply equally to corporate and other types of event planning. Everyone is welcome.
This workshop is presented by The Robinson Agency founder Stacy Robinson and is based on more than two decades of planning events of all sizes, up to 4,000-seat arena events - plus daily conversations with event planners since 2002 ... hearing directly from event planners across the nation what worked well for them and the "wish I'd done this differently" scenarios - plus constant feedback from agency speakers who travel across the country speaking at all types of events ... small, large, church, corporate, colleges, etc.
