Who it’s for

You’re good at planning events. You’re ready to be valued for the thinking behind them.

If you plan events in-house

Learn to show the business impact of your events, live, with feedback on the work you’re already doing.

Be the person leadership brings in before the brief is written.

If you run your own event business

Stop competing on logistics and price, and learn to market your business like a pro, even if you’re a business of one.

Move from vendor to strategic partner.

If you’re ready for your next move

Get a new lens, a repeatable method, and a finished case study that tells a stronger story about your value.

Your experience is worth more than logistics. Let’s prove it.

The heart of the intensive

You’ll work on a real event, and walk away with proof.

Show leadership and hiring managers exactly what you bring.

With your clients

Walk into proposals as a strategic partner, not a vendor.

On your website

Let your work prove your value before the first call.

First cohort, February 2027

Join the waitlist

25 seats per cohort. Waitlist members get the dates and pricing first, before enrollment is announced anywhere else.

Good to know

When does it start?

The first cohort launches in February 2027, with cohorts again in June and September. Join the waitlist and you’ll hear the dates first.

How much does it cost?

Pricing goes to the waitlist first, in January, before enrollment opens to anyone else.

How much time does it take?

One hour live each week, plus 2–3 hours on your own, for four weeks, with office hours for your questions.

Is this for in-house planners or business owners?

Both. The method works whether you lead events inside an organization or run your own business, even a business of one.

Do I have to get certified?

No. CPES is included if you want it. You can also take the method and run with it. It’s your choice.
