My guest today has had a similar experience learning the ins and outs of event planning and hosting kickass conferences.
Isaac Watson is the founder of Kickass Conferences, an event strategy and production studio based in the Pacific Northwest. Isaac helps community leaders develop and deliver transformative events for their audiences that inspire them to build a better world. So far, he's planned and managed events that have touched over 21,000 lives across the US and Europe.
Isaac is a natural event planner. I know because I've attended a number of events that he's planned and I hired him to plan a conference for me 4 years ago.
But Isaac hasn't relied on his natural aptitude for creating meaningful and engaging experiences. Instead, he's designed a process he can rely on to pull off one great event after another.
This process and the way he manages his events is clearly a product of the way he's honed his craft over the years.
He notices what works, he notices patterns, he notices the things that go unnoticed—and then he adapts the way he manages future projects.
In this conversation, Isaac and I talk about how things have evolved since his very first event, the 5 phases that every event goes through from vision to completion, how he works with clients within that process, and what it's like when it's go-time and an event is live.
