These monthly conversations are curated to spark inspiration, foster connection, and deliver real value. Each session will feature lively, guided discussions spanning personal growth, event trends, and business insights, ensuring something for everyone.

The topic for this month is: Knowing When (and How) to Expand Your Event Entrepreneur Business.

Growing your business isn't always about taking on more clients—it can be about knowing when it's time to evolve. Whether you're considering hiring support, outsourcing specialized tasks, collaborating with trusted partners, or expanding your service offerings, making the right move at the right time can set the stage for sustainable success. Join fellow CanSPEP members for an interactive discussion as we share experiences, challenges, and practical strategies for recognizing the signs that you're ready to grow, avoiding common pitfalls, and building a business that supports both your professional goals and your personal well-being.

CanSPEP Connections December - Successful Events Aren’t Built on Hope—They’re Built on Preparation (December 09, 2026)

Wed, 09 Dec 2026 18:00:00 GMT

Successful events aren’t built on hope—they’re built on preparation.

In today’s event landscape, the unexpected is becoming more frequent—from security incidents and recent festival-related shootings to extreme weather events, high winds, and rapidly changing conditions that can impact even the most carefully planned experiences. Creating safe, successful events requires more than a great concept; it requires proactive risk management, strong communication, and thoughtful contingency planning.

Join fellow CanSPEP members for an interactive discussion exploring the practical strategies, processes, and safeguards that help event professionals anticipate challenges, make informed decisions under pressure, and respond effectively when things don’t go according to plan.

CanSPEP Connections will, in general, be held on the 2nd Wednesday of each month at 1:00 ET for one hour.

This is a CanSPEP Planner Members only event and there is no cost to attend.
