The Bookkeepers' Podcast: To Do Lists and Strip Clubs

Live at the Festival of Accounting and Bookkeeping

In this special live-recorded episode of The Bookkeepers' Podcast, Jo Wood and Zoe Whitman take the stage at Day Two of the Festival of Accounting and Bookkeeping (FAB) to talk all things event planning, productivity, and how not to end up in a strip club. Sharing personal stories, hard-earned lessons, and plenty of laughs, Jo and Zoe offer their top tips for getting the most out of professional events — from travel logistics and mental load to safety, networking, and using events for marketing.

Listeners are encouraged to think intentionally about what they want to achieve from attending an event, how to look after themselves while there, and how to follow up strategically when they get home. Whether you’re a seasoned conference-goer or prepping for your first industry event, this episode is packed with practical advice — and a few cautionary tales.
