I love my clients, but some have a special place in my heart — those who generously give me feedback. All the conferences I design and facilitate have a time and place for participants to share their experiences. But most clients don’t give me post-event feedback about my work or the event. And that’s okay. After all, feedback benefits me, and it takes time and effort for a client to articulate clear feedback.

As an event professional, it can be all too easy to get lost in the details. Logistics, ticket sales, and tight timelines can fill up your list of priorities…fast. But it’s important to remember that your speakers can be your greatest asset when it comes to the overall success of your event. Speakers are usually happy to promote an event. But if they have to work too hard to help spread the word, your event could fall to the bottom of their to-do list.
