Episode seventeen, and the spotlight is on... Adrienne Giroux, a 20-year event veteran and founder of Chef In The House.
Adrienne started planning parties long before turning it into a career. Post-university when she worked in Film & Television, she found herself organizing the wrap parties. When she learned about event planning as an industry she founded her own event production company, but ditched that in favour of working on her dream event, Fashion Cares.
Then she was offered the golden ticket, spearheading the events department at the Toronto International Film Festival. Over her 10 year tenure there, she worked on hundreds of events for the organization, and 3rd party clients.
In this episode, we talk about the ability to forecast your event career moves, being open and ready to pivot and why change isn't always scary - it's just necessary.
