Hosts: David Adler, Beth Kormanik
Guest: Matthew David Hopkins
In this episode of GatherGeeks, David Adler, C.E.O. of BizBash,
and Beth Kormanik, editor in chief of BizBash, sit down with
Matthew David Hopkins of 360 Design Events. He shares how he got
his start in event design and how his architecture degree impacted
his approach, then dives into some of the more memorable
gatherings—including large-scale benefits and mayoral
inaugurations—he’s planned. Hopkins also explains his rules for
cocktail receptions, moving people between event rooms, and
more—but also explains why its important to throw out the rule book
every once in a while. Finally, he shares how his design choices
have changed in the last three decades, how planning for social
events differs from planning for corporate events, and the key
questions he asks every client. This episode is a must-listen for
anyone interested in learning tricks of the trade from an industry
veteran.
