Well, simply put, because we’re humans. Because we’re putting together experiences for people, and we want them to have an amazing experience. And this seems like something automatic, something we don’t have to think about because we just make it happen by default.

While you and your teammates are busy setting up, testing equipment and greeting vendors for your event, frequent and open communication is critical. During the event itself, communication only becomes more important. There are a bunch of apps out there designed to help you talk with your team while onsite (or between different sites).

Imagine a world where you could spend an unlimited amount of money in whatever store you walked in or event you planned. Yes, that means purchasing $200 eyeglasses when you have 20:20 vision or spending the extra $50 just to have your logo printed on the face of each M&M.
