Welcome, Chris Ducker from the UK, Inside the Greenroom!
In this episode, we take a deep dive into running your own event! How do you not only bring that event from big dream to reality, but also create an AMAZING experience for your attendees!?
Chris has been hosting events since 2011, and has been able to consistently sell out his own events by sending out just ONE email to his list, which is unheard of to me. Make sure you listen to hear his secret. We don’t stop there! We talk music, scripting your event, implementing skits, minor touches you can add for your audience, and much more!
What if you just want to BE on an international stage? Chris reveals the best practices for Americans, and locals who wants to speak on stages in the United Kingdom, as well as how you can get his attention and ultimately land his stage.
