Episode notes

In this special episode of GatherGeeks, BizBash chairman and founder David Adler sits in on a special event planners' luncheon - co-hosted by Melva LaJoy Legrend of LaJoy Plans and Margo Fischer of Bright Occasions - in Washington, D.C. These luncheons, known as Head Table Talks, aim to build community within the events industry and provide a safe space for event profs to network and collaborate. At this particular Head Table Talk, held in late October at Dauphine's, Adler brings his Jeffersonian-style of discussion to the six planners gathered and asks each of them: What was your first job? And what did you learn from it? This is just part one of this thought-provoking discussion. Part two, to be released next week, will shift its focus to the latest happenings in the event business and provide valuable insights into the industry's latest trends and challenges. These are two episodes you don't want to miss.
