All events planners have event seasons. In AZ we usually get June, July and sometimes August off from events unless you plan a lot of indoor events or travel and due events outside the state due to our hot weather. Yes, we are still planning future events but take this time to learn something new that can help you in your trade. Use your network and reach out to them to learn something that you will be able to use in the future to help your future clients. It could also be more fun that you expect it to be! #eventplanner #eventplanningaz #eventplanning #eventplanningtips #corporateevents #corporateplanner #corporateplanning #weddingplanning #weddingplanner #eventtips #workconference #businessconference #weddingsandevents #businessmeetings
