Smarter Event Project Management: Part 2
Thursday, June 18th | 10 AM PT / 1 PM ET (30 mins)
📍 Virtual (Zoom link provided after registration)
Event planners manage some of the most complex projects in business – balancing multiple stakeholders, tight timelines, shifting priorities, and high expectations.
But the skill that actually makes it all work? Project Management. And most event professionals are never formally taught how to do it well.
In April, we kicked off this conversation with the EPN community – and the response was clear:
High engagement. Dozens of questions.
And we only got through about two-thirds of what we planned.
So we’re continuing it.
Part 2 Is Designed To Go Deeper
Building on the foundations from the first session and focusing on what comes next: planning ahead, forecasting, and managing your energy so the work feels sustainable (not just reactive).
Whether you joined Part 1 or not, you’ll be able to jump in and get immediate value.
We'll Focus On
-
Forecasting work so timelines hold up under pressure
-
Planning ahead instead of constantly reacting
-
Managing your energy to avoid burnout and sustain performance
- Building systems that make execution feel more predictable
You'll Walk Away With
-

- A more sustainable way to manage high-volume event work
New Here Or Missed Part 1?
As always, we’ll open up the conversation so you can hear what’s working for other planners in the EPN community – and walk away with ideas you can apply immediately.
You’re absolutely welcome to join.
This session stands on its own – and will help you level up quickly.
Nearly all event professionals are continually looking for smarter ways to manage the work behind their events. If that's you, join us for this session!

About the Event Professionals Network (EPN)
The Event Professionals Network (EPN) was created to bring event professionals together.
Planning events can be incredibly rewarding – but it can also be demanding and sometimes isolating. EPN is a place where planners can connect, learn, share experiences, and support each other as they grow in their careers.
We believe in building a community that is welcoming, practical, and generous with knowledge, where professionals at every stage can find ideas, encouragement, and peers who understand the craft.
Today, our network includes nearly 1,200 event professionals from around the world.
To engage with EPN, join our community Slack, where members connect, ask questions, and share insights. You can also follow us on LinkedIn to stay up to date on conversations, events, and opportunities within the community.
