Would you rather all coffee at your event be decaf, or lunch is just a variety of different hummus?

Join Hayley, Jenny, and our first on screen guest, Mia Breading, for a cheeky game of Would You Rather..? - events edition!

Following a WhatsApp debate on the Producer's Room, Hayley and Jenny take the convo to the studio and ask the question "Are Panels Dead?".

Speak Easy is back! And so is event season. Are you getting ready to head back onsite? On this episode, Jenny and Hayley share their thoughts and experiences about being back on the show floor, and looking after yourself when you're racking up the steps.

Everyone loves to talk about AI. Hayley and Jenny discuss the benefits & limitations of AI on the conference production process, and even put ChatGPT to the test in a live demo for a panel session.

Inviting speakers is part sales, part charm, and part knowing how not to get ghosted. This week we cover the evolving tactics in speaker invites, post-COVID changes, and why junior producers should never underestimate a well-scripted invite.

Is it harder to get a new event off the ground or keep a legacy one from going stale? Hayley and Jenny talk through the challenges of both, from production cycles to commercial pressure, and finding the audience that proves your event still has a reason to exist.

Hayley’s latest obsession? Walk-on music and speaker intro videos. She and Jenny unpack the art of the perfect speaker entrance, inspired by Sabrina Carpenter, Lewis Capaldi, and a few AV dreams (or nightmares).

A backstage pass to the highs, hiccups, and happy accidents of life as a conference producer. Hayley and Jenny talk mentorship, managing teams without losing your mind, and why the new generation is making corporate events cooler (and kinder) than ever.
