Retain Live 2019 was a phenomenal success – especially for our very first live event!
However as we discussed during the first part of our “debrief”, it was a little rocky in the build up.
In this concluding episode, Callie and I talk through the event itself, breaking down everything that happened and how it all came together; sharing some of our biggest lessons and top takeaways for anyone thinking of running a similar event.
In this episode…
- The moment we realised that all of our hard work, and the complete burnout we’d experienced, was totally worth it.
- A recap of the sessions, speakers and surprises from across the 3 days of the event
- How we added special touches and memorable moments to make our event truly remarkable
- Answering that all important question about whether we’ll be running another event like this one
