Bring your jazz hands and sequins while we dive into the world of musical theatre to uncover valuable lessons in event management and communication. Whether it's conferences, an office party, or other group gatherings, administrative professionals may find themselves at the helm of organizing events and the communications that go alongside them. This presentation will share creative strategies and practical skills inspired by the art of costuming musical productions and practical ways to apply them to office event organizing.

Participants will gain actionable insights and resources to elevate their events and communications and share additional resources with one another. Get ready to add a touch of theatrical flair to your professional toolkit!
