Join our weekly Wed chat as we discuss all topics relating to Outsourcing. Outsourcing is new to some in the wedding industry since most of us are small boutique companies; we are used to handling all aspects of our business ourselves such as billing, blogging marketing and so on. Join the round table discussion as we discuss:
- What can be outsourced?
- Where to find quality help?
- Is there such thing as sharing too much information?
- Success stories from our peers who are currently outsourcing.
The chat is open to all wedding industry professionals. We would love to hear the prospective from planners, photographers, venues and all other categories.

Please note that Wed Chats are hosted every Tuesday evening at 8pm EST. Stay tuned for the schedule of upcoming chat topics.

It was so great to see so many of you come out and discuss your struggles and successes when trying to obtain an intern. This discussion was not only great for those that is ready to obtain an intern, but to also spark ideas for professionals that currently have interns.
Some of the key points discussed were:
- Places to find interns as well as connecting with local college administration
- What duties should be given to interns?
- Are they paid or unpaid?
- Evaluations at the end of projects
- Turning interns into assistants
- Getting interns that are not only event specific but marketing or business
Many additional ideas were shared. I encourage those that attended to please comment with any key points that they received from the chat.
I also would like to thank all that participated. We will be conducting these discussions on a weekly basis always followed by a recap for you to refer too at your leisure.
If you have any ideas for an upcoming chat or would like to be a guest speaker, please email info at i-wed dot org.
