About The Event Tech Pull Up

The Event Tech Pull Up is an independent podcast that cuts through industry jargon and abolishes nonsense. We help frustrated meeting and event professionals feel more prepared and empowered. From crappy software and amazing platforms to the best gear and gaff tape – no topic is off the table. This isn’t just another podcast; it’s a rebellion against the crappy advice and overhyped trends that can sidetrack Independent Event Planners, Small Agencies, Personal Assistants, and Associations from what truly matters in creating unforgettable events.

Fed up with the fluff? So are we. That’s why we created the Event Tech Pull-Up, a straightforward, no-nonsense guide for those who orchestrate the magic behind the scenes but often find themselves bogged down by the industry’s noise. Hosted by Tess Vismale, CMP, DES, from iSocialX, and Keith Johnston of Plannerwire, our podcast peels back the curtain on the event tech world, offering clear, actionable advice and insights.

Our episodes dive deep into event tech tools, trends, and innovations, all while addressing real challenges like burnout, navigating complex client/stakeholder demands, and the sometimes absurd expectations of the event industry glitterati. It’s about empowering you, the backbone of the event planning world, with knowledge, tips, and hopefully a few laughs along the way. You should not just survive our industry; you should thrive in this fast-paced shitshow.

So, if you’re tired of sifting through the same old advice and are looking for a resource that speaks directly to your challenges and needs, the Event Tech Pull-Up is here for you. Let’s navigate the ridiculous, the challenging, and the truly transformative together. Welcome to your new go-to source for all things event tech – where clarity, community, and a bit of humor make all the difference.
