The $100 MBA Show MBA2136 What I Learned From Hosting a 4 Day Event
Offering live, in-person workshops, retreats, and other events isn’t easy.
…but it’s so worth it.
Recently, Omar hosted a 4-day in-person ski & snowboard retreat for independent founders. It was the first in-person event we’ve put together in a while, and it didn’t go exactly as planned — but it was still a win for us, and a worthwhile experience for everyone who attended.
Today, we share how we planned this event, what went right and wrong, and how we navigated the unexpected twists along the way.
If you’re thinking of organizing an event like this (especially if it involves travel, lodging, and the other logistics that can get complicated quickly) give this episode a listen. Learn how to make sure that both you and your attendees get the value they’re looking for — and have a great time while they’re doing it. Click Play!
