While the first season of How To Event focused on pandemic planning, COVID and the pandemic haven’t stopped being relevant in our everyday lives. Given this fact, for this final installment of Season 2, I revisit this topic in more detail. In episode 8 I discuss some of the current trends within the event industry as they relate to COVID and how vendors and event hosts alike have had to pivot to maintain momentum.

In this week's 7th episode of Season 2, we are focusing on timeline creation. A timeline sounds like it might be a simple piece of the puzzle, but it is crucial to the success of your event. Depending on the scope of your event, your timeline may be simple - or it could be an extensive, detailed roadmap that offers anyone who reads it the key to successfully bringing your event to life. A timeline will help you and your team to maintain efficiency in the execution of the event and will ensure important elements aren’t missed as well as create priorities and help to assign responsibilities.

This week in episode 6, I focus on the basics of menu design and highlight a few tips and tricks to keep in mind as an event host builds their menu. Learn about food types, meal periods, and the different styles of service. Understand the details surrounding dietary restrictions and allergies in today's climate of trending dietary preferences - and true health-related restrictions.
