Local meetups
Small rooms over coffee or brunch — Brno, Prague, London, wherever enough of us are. No agenda beyond a question someone brought with them. What’s said in the room stays in the room.

A club for the people who actually run the rooms.
Event Managers Club is a no-pitch community for conference organisers, producers and event marketers. Local meetups, interviews, podcasts, webinars and a weekly newsletter — the place to say the things you can’t say from a stage.

01 About the club
No stages. No sponsor slides. Just the work.
Most event conferences are a sales floor with a lanyard. We wanted the opposite: a place where the people who build the run-of-show can talk honestly about budgets that moved, speakers who cancelled, and the app that fell over at check-in.
It started as a coffee between a handful of Brno organisers. It’s growing into a community platform — more cities, more formats — and it stays free, informal and deliberately small enough that everyone gets to talk.
I run Eventee and I host the podcast and the webinars, so I’m the one holding the mic. Worth saying out loud: nobody buys a slot here. If that ever changes, you’ll read it on this page before you hear it in a room.
02 What we do
Interviews & podcast
Long-form conversations with organisers who have run the thing you’re about to run. Full episodes, no highlight reel, no sponsor read.
ListenWebinars
Practical online sessions on the craft — budgets, run-of-shows, sponsorship, tech. No product demos, no vendor pitches.
OnlineNewsletter & stories
Field notes, teardowns and honest post-mortems from real events — including the ones that went sideways. One email a week.

Ostrava event managers’ brunch
An open table, a good brunch, and whatever everyone is stuck on this month. Our guests bring what running HRko taught them; you bring a problem or nothing at all — both are fine.
Guests
- Jiří Kratochvíl
- Petr Juříček
Both organise HRko, billed as the most stacked people & culture show in Czechia and Slovakia.
