How to Run Your First Live Event

Hosting a live event is a dream that many entrepreneurs have, but this dream often comes with a lot of questions and concerns. How do you start? Where do you find event attendees? Where should you host your event and how much should you expect to pay upfront to host the live event before you begin selling tickets? These were all questions I asked myself when I started planning my first Sigrun Live event.

I have attended plenty of business conferences and live events throughout my career as an entrepreneur, but hosting Sigrun Live was a new experience for me. Thankfully, it was a very positive one! By 2019, Sigrun Live had become an annual fixture in the diaries of my clients. It’s also a great opportunity to connect with my team, who are based all over the world.

Hosting an event can be a great way to grow your community, reach your audience, and connect with like-minded people. It can also be the stepping stone you need to pave the path to success for your business. In this episode, I share some of the tips, tricks, and strategies I used when I planned my first ever Sigrun Live event. I’ll also share the simple strategy I used to completely sell out my first event.
