As a continuation from the previous post, Top 10 Blogs & Resources for Event Planners, we wanted to share another set of great resources that keep event planners up to date on the latest news, discussions, and products in the event industry. As mentioned in the previous post, blogs have the immediacy that printed materials lack, and therefore contain the absolute most current information. This instantaneous nature makes them the best sources to find useful, up-to-date content for your followers in the social media sphere.
