This week kicks off the start of a new, ongoing series I'll be bringing to the Event Fusion Podcast™ - the Industry Insider Series. In these episodes, I'll be interviewing and introducing you to, experts within and around the events space that are innovating and changing the way we view and experience events. In the series' inaugural episode, I am speaking with Katherine Frost, former wedding planner and founder of the newly launched event planning platform, ORO. Things you'll learn in this episode: The one piece of advice event planners are telling their clients to completely ignore and throw out the window. How the global pandemic has become a blessing in disguise for those wishing to plan lavish events. ORO - the platform that will change how you look at Excel sheets and Google Docs moving forward. About Katherine: Katherine began her career in sales, working for a Destination Management Company. Her love for making things beautiful, combined with her sales and operational expertise, led her to start her wedding and event planning company, A Frosted Affair. After over 10 years in the events industry, it became apparent that the technology available to event professionals was lacking and so, with a pivot in 2019 she assembled a team to create the professional planning platform called ORO. With Katherine's industry know how and innate understanding of what event professionals need, ORO was created to be an all-in-one platform to help those in the events industry, plan and manage their events with efficiency and ease.
