Progress is impossible without change, and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything. - George Bernard Shaw Name badges have gotten ridiculous. Event organizers have tried to capture so much information on the name badge, provide agendas at a glance, drink tickets, identification ribbons, sponsor level, event branding, and the kitchen sink all on one little name badge. it's gotten so bad that I feel like everyone is walking around with a giant albatross around their necks!

Crisp evenings, leaves changing color, brisk bite to the air. These are all signs of Fall that frankly, we don’t get here in Austin. What do we have? Football. Football, the greatest of human endeavours and harbinger of autumnal weather, is how we know that seasons are changing in other parts of the country. And what we lack in other fall areas, we more than make up for with what we do have as no one does football like Texas.

Soft skills are an event planner’s best friend. For those who haven’t heard this term, “ soft skills ” refers to your non-tangible, non-quantifiable skills – things like your personality, etiquette, how you get along with others, small talk and listening skills. An event planner’s profession requires both soft and hard skills but this article focuses more on soft skills.

I love the sight of read receipts in the mornin'. If you thought it was frustrating to send a text to someone only to see the read receipt with no response, Facebook knows how you feels. That's why they're also introducing that same read receipt feature to to events so that you can see who has read your invitation. They first revealed the upcoming feature to the Daily Dot here and of course, everyone is freaking out over absolutely nothing.

Yawning is a fascinating action, even reading about yawning can cause somebody to yawn. As I write about this, I'm inspired to yawn myself. And if somebody else sees you yawn, they might end up yawning themselves. The effect is contagious and can spread from just a single person. So, how does this help you sell more tickets, you might ask, as you suddenly might feel somewhat sleepy or relaxed.

When I began writing for Ticketbud a little less than a year ago (my my, time flies!), we had recently transitioned our pricing model from a fixed fee per event to a per-ticket “service fee”. It was admittedly not the smoothest transition. Whenever you radically change a pricing model, you'll always be on the receiving end of some negative feedback.
