In this episode, we’re getting real about money with Keri Miller, Chief Creative Strategist at e=mc² events. She’s one of our go-tos when we take Ignite's Worth It: Stand up for Business Events initiative on the road. In fact, she joined us on stage at IMEX in Las Vegas last fall.
And it's Miller’s views on compensation that prompted us to invite her on the podcast today. Miller is a strong advocate for fair and equitable compensation. She freely shares her wisdom and pricing philosophy with fellow event planners. If we don’t price with a eye to paying ourselves, she says, “I’m worried we are going to have some old poor event planners in our future.”
Get ready for an episode packed with tons of inspirational ideas for event pros!
