247 - Managing Maker Markets and Vendor Relationships with Sarah Frost

In this episode, we’re joined by Sarah Frost to unpack what goes into organizing maker markets and what event pros can learn from them. We dive into her expertise on managing vendor relationships and how to set your event up for long-term success. She shares how she balances curation with inclusivity, prepares for common onsite challenges, and helps vendors feel genuinely supported, not just managed. A practical, values-driven conversation with lessons that apply far beyond markets to conferences, galas, and festivals.SHOW NOTES:Connect with Sarah Frost:Website: ⁠www.makinglocal.comInstagram: @makinglocalmarkets / @makinglocal (2 accounts)Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MakingLocalMarketsLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sarah-frost-5b8254316/Register interest for the 2026 Better Events Conference: https://forms.gle/caX87sth8DpgyZPi6Learn more about the pod, Better Events Conference and more: https://bettereventspod.com/the-latestWant our updated free run of show template?
