Today, we had the opportunity to learn from Kari Lowery about marketing, communication, and what it takes to successfully put on large events.

One quote that really stood out was: “What shines in the light was forged in the shadows.” It was a great reminder that success often comes from the hard work and challenges people don’t always see.

Some of the biggest takeaways from today included:

- The importance of communication and being able to lean on the team you are working with
- Learning from other businesses and events because you can never know everything
-Thinking creatively about sponsorships and in-kind trades
-Supporting the people who support you
-Keeping track of what you promise so you don’t miss small details

Kari also shared her experiences working with large events and concerts, including the importance of building relationships and learning from every experience.

Thank you Kari for coming in today and sharing your knowledge and experiences with us!
