Seasoned event professionals have enough terrible client stories to fill a library, but each one offers valuable takeaways about wise business practices and personal boundaries. Industry expert and luxury designer Margaux Fraise takes the stage to share a story that takes the cake when it comes to disaster clients. In this true and often-shocking tale, she reveals the key lessons she learned amidst tumultuous family dynamics, late-night emails, a Hollywood car chase, bribery with Louboutins, Dracula, and an eight-page letter of "faults" that Margaux reread for months. Throughout, she'll highlight how she changed her business and saw wild growth—from client screening to day-of SOPs—so attendees can skip the client headaches and set up their businesses for success. So buckle up and get ready for a fun, informative ride!
