Listen "#11 Sara Lieber: How Do You Pull Off an Event When Budgets Are Tight and Timelines Are Tighter?"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of Vision to Vibe, I’m joined by my friend and event powerhouse, Sara Lieber, to unpack the real, behind-the-scenes dynamics of event planning that most marketers don’t talk about.From redefining ROI to managing registration chaos, Sara and I get into:✅ Why registration is your first impression—and your first opportunity to wow attendees✅ How time management, accountability, and communication make or break an event✅ What to do when your Plan A fails (and B through F aren’t looking great either)✅ Why a small, scrappy team often outperforms a bloated one✅ Why ROI needs to go beyond revenue—and focus on experience, brand equity, and long-term impactWe also take on some of the industry’s sacred cows: budget myths, last-minute planning strategies, and what kind of events are really delivering results in 2024.If you lead field marketing, events, or just want a more honest take on what it takes to produce great experiences—especially with limited resources—this is the one to watch. 🎯🧠 Bonus: Sara’s mindset and energy around making events feel like a wedding (yes, really!) will inspire any marketer aiming to level up.🤝 Interested in getting help with your next big event?
