Topic: Marketing Basics & Table Staging
Guest host and moderator: Julie Parrish
Join artist and creative entrepreneur Julie Parrish for Marketing Basics & Table Staging, a hands-on talk about the art of showing up well at in-person events. Drawing from real experience, Julie will cover table setup, display sourcing, smart packing for out-of-town shows, indoor vs. outdoor considerations, and practical do’s and don’ts for event success. She’ll also share tips on understanding your audience and managing setup and breakdown with less stress. As a bonus, attendees can explore a grab bag of display items and tools she’s used along the way.
