We know that learning to be tech-savvy can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re juggling all of the crap that goes into making your conference or event a success, but trust us—leveling up your tech game will not only make your work more efficient but also make you indispensable.

In this episode, we break it down with 10 actionable tips to boost your confidence and capability with event tech. From setting small, manageable goals to mastering tools like Cvent or experimenting with new gadgets, we cover the essentials. Plus, we share personal stories—like how YouTube saved one of us from calling a repair tech and why Tess swears by having dummy devices for testing attendee experiences.

We also discuss the importance of staying curious, exploring basic programming, and using tools like AI to learn new skills. And yes, we touch on topics like keyboard shortcuts, social media trends, and why email mastery is still a thing (even though Tess is ready to ditch it entirely).
