One of the biggest mistakes event organisers make is choosing talent based on popularity rather than outcomes.

Before booking anyone, ask: what do I want my audience to experience?

✔️ Energised and entertained?
✔️ Inspired and motivated?
✔️ Educated and challenged?
✔️ Connected and engaged?

The right speaker, entertainer, MC, facilitator or content creator isn’t necessarily the most famous option — it’s the person best suited to your audience, your objectives and the experience you’re trying to create.

The most successful events start with the desired outcome and work backwards.

Exciting milestone for Gigster

The Planner Guru has featured the relaunch of Gigster following our major platform rebuild.

Gigster has evolved from a live entertainment booking site into a professionally curated marketplace for the broader South African event industry - now spanning production, AV, videography, décor, planning, speakers, hospitality, livestreaming and more.

We’ve also launched Gigster Direct — helping suppliers manage quotes, invoices, contracts and bookings from one streamlined platform.

A huge thank you to everyone supporting the journey so far.

The new Gigster platform is now opening to vendors.

Existing Gigster talent, speakers, entertainers, creatives and event professionals are beginning to activate profiles on a completely rebuilt system - designed to make bookings cleaner, faster and far more professional.

Alongside a stronger marketplace, the new platform introduces Gigster Direct: a powerful booking tool that allows vendors to create professional quotes, contracts and invoices for their own direct clients too.

A lot has gone into this rebuild, and it’s exciting to see the first profiles coming in.
