10 Top Blogs & Resources for Event Planners

10/23/2013

Keeping up-to-date on the latest news, discussions, and products is essential in the event industry.  This is especially true if you contribute to the social media sphere; sharing fresh, relevant content that is useful for your followers is a must.  Printed content and trade magazines provide excellent information, but there is a growing resource for the absolute most current information: blogs.

Why Blogs?
Event planning blogs have the immediacy that printed materials lack.  Online articles can surface within hours of an important discussion or occurrence.  Both blogs and social media give us the unlimited, constant ability to share new information and then update or supplement it later, providing instantaneous access for both the reader and the writer.
The most popular blogs in any field are usually run by industry leaders, industry veterans, and great thinkers who enjoy writing about their trade.  This is certainly true for the event industry, and although blog articles tend to support the author's opinions, they will be the most straightforward and least likely to beat around the bush.  

Without further ado, below are our 10 of our top picks for blogs & resources for event planners (in no particular order):

1. Velvet Chainsaw's Midcourse Corrections | Dave Lutz & Jeff Hurt
Midcourse Corrections writes about annual meeting improvement, association meetings, corporate meetings, education, and the convergence of Web 2.0, social media, meetings, events and education.

2. Conferences That Work | Adrian Segar
Segar's focus is creating events that attendees will love, and his blog articles are great insight into what attendees want, and revolutionary ideas for what attendees will want at future events.

3. Event Planning Blog | Cvent
Cvent has an excellent plethora of articles about everything event related - including news, social media, budgeting, and planning how-to's, to name a few.

4. Plan Your Meetings
Along with industry news, planners will find best practices, resources, and advice for all different event needs.

5. Liz King Events | Liz King
King's mantra is to make events more engaging, effective, and efficient.  Her "Event Tech of the Week" blog posts showcase services that streamline the planning and execution of events, helping the 3 e's.

6. Fork in the Road | Michelle Bruno
Bruno writes about the coexistence and prosperity of social media and other innovative technologies alongside face-to-face meetings, as well as exploration into the future of meetings and conferences.

7. Event Manager Blog | Julius Solaris
Solaris blogs about event technology Trends, innovative event concepts, and social media applied to the event industry. Solaris also gives thumbs ups to the event startup community by giving space to initiatives to support innovation in the event industry.

8. Trade Show Institute | Traci Browne
Browne offers tips & advice for trade show organizers, as well as guidance and how to's from personal experience.

9. Planner Wire | Keith Johnston

Reading your posts brings back memories of the experience I had at my department’s team building activity that was held at Club Auto Sport in San Jose, CA. The venue just set the mode for a day of fun & relaxation. We had lots of exciting activities like tricycle racing, exotic driving experience and much more... Their service is incomparable! You should check them out at clubautosport.net/event-center/team-building/ (408.770.1200), I highly recommend them to anyone desiring the best when it comes to team building programs.
