Having said that, during the summer months some of us have been enjoying a less than busy time. We\u2019re not saying event planners are not occupied and hardworking. It\u2019s just that for some the load has been a bit lighter. First and foremost don\u2019t get down due to the lack of work. If you\u2019re lucky to have some less than busy time, put it to good use. Do some of the things you have been putting off. It\u2019s the perfect time to create event objectives and goals, tweak event policies and procedures and evaluate supplier partnerships. Put the extra time to good use by expanding your event planning expertise. Look at new business tactics. Update company procedures. Go after new business. And network, network, network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ask_the_Expert_%E2%80%93_Post_Event_Sadness\"><\/span>Ask the Expert \u2013 Post Event Sadness<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How do you combat post event sadness?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019re not alone. It happens all the time. And we\u2019ve all been there. The struggle is real and yet very routine. It\u2019s perfectly normal to feel some kind of sadness once an event comes to a close. Many event and meeting planners go through some sort of post event depression. With all the work that goes into planning an event; it\u2019s totally normal to feel a bit of a lunch bag let down. All those days and weeks and months leading up to an event are chocked filled with a crazy amount of hours, objectives, responsibilities, tasks and work. After spending so much time on a project; and putting all that blood, sweat and sometimes tears into planning. And then it seems like before you know it, it\u2019s all over. There are lots of ways to manage post event sadness. And we all deal with it differently. Firstly it\u2019s imperative to complete the event wrap-up. Once that\u2019s a wrap. Do things that make you happy. Get some sleep. Enjoy some down time. Renew friends and family relationships. Set new goals. And then focus on the next one.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome to the latest and greatest installment of Ask the Expert. Got a question?
