In this episode, your host Amy Milne gets real with Matt Glass, Partner & Chief Creative Officer at Eventage, a full service event production company that creates, designs, develops and executes live events for Fortune 100 companies as well as blue-chip non-profits. From his start as the  Production Manager for many high profile Macy's annual events, including the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade (so awesome, right?!) to now running Eventage with his wife, Jennifer, Matt is a passionate advocate for planning and executing events that matter. Like Amy, Matt has many soapboxes but the one he focuses on for this episode is opening ceremonies. He's on a mission to take them from afterthought to front & centre! Matt takes a deep dive on everything from where the ceremonies should take place, who should speak, what to say, how to say it and so much more. Make sure you listen to the end for a crucial reminder to create an epic event experience that brings people together to rally around your cause. Grab a pen and paper and buckle up to hear from one of the best in the biz!If you're looking to connect with Matt, or find out more about Eventage and how they can take your event to the next level, check out eventage.net.”It all comes back to doing the work to design your ceremony so that it is impactful and that people remember it and that people feel connected.” – Matt GlassConnect with us:Beyond Fundraising Inc: https://www.startingbeyond.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/amy-milne-8946791/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/milneamyr/https://www.instagram.com/startbeyond/
