Finding time for networking events can be tricky, however – so the next best thing is keeping up to date with events industry blogs.

It’s a blog with sticking power too – it’s been run by a former social media consultant and his team since 2007, and the community with which it is associated boasts more than 350,000 members.
TechsyTalk
Run by events guru Liz King, TechsyTalk offers easily digestible articles on a range of subjects. There are lots of handy how-to guides as well as interviews with events professionals at the top of their game – a great place to find inspiration for something you’ve got in the pipeline.
