After years of working alongside event planners as their technical partner, I've seen firsthand what makes events truly successful. The Open Crate Collective's Event Planner's Survival Guide is my insider's perspective on how to make the technical side of events work seamlessly with your planning process. Think of it as having a friendly AV partner in your pocket - sharing practical insights about production timelines, venue considerations, and tech solutions in the same supportive way we would over a cup of coffee. It's all about making the technical side of events feel as natural as every other part of your planning process.
