Welcome, Bari Baumgardner, Inside the Greenroom! 

I am so excited to bring to you, Bari’s 4-Part “Strategy First” approach to running profitable live events. We talk about the key questions meeting planners must answer before  even starting the initial planning of your events, AND we share how to win stages as a beginning speaker.

Bari Baumgardner is the founder and Executive Producer at  SAGE Event Management, a 24-year event planning veteran, and the event-planning mastermind behind many of the industry’s most profitable live events. Her previous clients include Jeff Walker, Lisa Sasevich, Fabienne Fredrickson, Margaret Lynch, Allison Maslan, Marcia Weider, Ali Brown, Christine Kane, and has helped run OUR live events here at Advance Your Reach!

Bari is best known for coaching clients on the “how to’s” of launching a seven figure business through a single live event - but a little known fact is she enjoys watching speaker sizzle reels for sport, and takes joy in finding undiscovered speakers who will be the next “overnight success” story.

P.S. - If you’re a meeting planner or speaker who plans to run your own events, listen up! Bari included a special resource called 17 Proven Strategies To Generate Revenue From A Live Event. She usually charges for this, but as an ITG listener you’ll get access at no cost. Click here to claim the 17 ways to profit from live events!
