Angelika Bazarnik

Behind every flawless event is a foundation of smart, strategic space planning—and the stakes are higher than ever. From legal compliance to guest experience, getting the setup right can make or break an event. This session equips planners, caterers, and venue teams with essential knowledge about fire marshal codes, setup ratios, AV and production footprints, and food & beverage layout considerations.

Attendees will learn how to calculate and allocate space efficiently, avoid the most common (and costly) mistakes, and deliver safer, smoother, and more successful events. Whether you're planning a wedding, a corporate gala, or a city-wide conference, you'll leave with professional insights that turn guesswork into precision—and stress into confidence.
