This page is a curated collection of advice for event pros by event pros. It’s the perfect place to learn from your fellow vendors and get inspired.
At ThymeBase, we build event planning software and talk to event pros every day. Often, these discussions raise exciting ideas that we think are worth sharing. So we invite the pros to talk about their experiences, inspirations, and ideas. In other words, we love finding and sharing great advice. And now, we’ve collected these articles all in one place.
Whether you’re unsure of adding a new partner to your event business or how to position your brand so your business can stand out, you’ll learn how a fellow event pro handled that exact situation.
Just a few examples of advice are how to transition to virtual events and how to create a work-life-family balance as a business professional. We’ve got articles on building great habits, and how to plan the perfect backyard wedding. And how to get your newly founded event business off the ground if you’re just starting out. There are tips on wowing your clients, staying organized, and even working closely with other vendors.
