Speaking of Events

Today’s guest is an avid runner and sports fan. She is passionate about events and loves discussing them with others. Megan Miller is the Manager, Events & Experiences at Fenway Sports Management. Megan joins host Kerri Garbis to talk about some of her tips for professional event planning and her stories from some of her times running. Takeaways: You don’t have to blow up your entire plan if one person has a negative comment or has some advice. There’s a lot of organizational protocols and different steps you have to take in order to make sure that corporate events are done properly. When working with celebrities and athletes, although it may be hard to not be a fan of them, you need to treat them just like any other person. There are many things that events touch and it takes a lot of work to make sure that they run smoothly. There is a lively atmosphere when producing events that takes a strong focus to make sure things don’t get derailed. Megan’s favorite moment of the event process is when it is over and she can see all the hard work come to life.
