Behind the Curtain: What It Really Takes to Plan Events for the U.S. Government with Brittany Carroll

In this episode, Logan and guest co-host Vanessa Loney sit down with Brittany Carroll, Manager of Event Operations at the Library of Congress and former U.S. diplomat, to pull back the curtain on what it really takes to produce events at the highest levels of government. Brittany shares what most event professionals never see: the layers of protocol, the complexity of managing global delegations, and what it takes to source vendors and navigate relationships in countries where the rules and expectations are completely different. If you've ever been curious about government and public sector events, this one will open your eyes.SHOW NOTES:Purchase our on-demand How to Start an Event Planning Business Workshop: https://bettereventspod.com/workshopConnect with guest co-host Vanessa on ⁠LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/vanessaloney/Connect with Brittany Carroll:LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/brittany-a-carrollWebsite: www.arkandsol.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/brittanyacarroll/Substack: https://substack.com/@lifebeelifinSAM Vendor Database: https://usfcr.com/register-renew/?utm_medium=ppc&utm_term=sam.gov&utm_campaign=SAM&utm_source=adwords&hsa_tgt=kwd-303711204891&hsa_ad=737504210564&hsa_src=g&hsa_mt=b&hsa_ver=3&hsa_cam=122161541&hsa_acc=1449812725&hsa_kw=sam.gov&hsa_grp=5341822301&hsa_net=adwords&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=122161541&gbraid=0AAAAADx-gxsUSU4bel_oTKZe1l74oD5NF&gclid=CjwKCAjw857RBhAgEiwAI-1yKMJwA6sOO3Y5hvJLsnVZFGkeFG2ndoNilWOQBMLoa8rO8gVKwmB_oBoCnNgQAvD_BwEUS Protocol references: https://www.state.gov/protocol-referenceLearn more about the pod, Better Events Conference and more: https://bettereventspod.com/the-latestWant our updated free run of show template?
