Be the host with the most and the least stress!
Get customised, expert advice to design and host any in-person gathering with complete confidence.
show me, Veronica!
Welcome to your first week on the job! Not only will you meet your team, try to understand the culture, and schedule TONS of meetings with the other managers. You’ll also have to mark your calendar for the biggest get-together of the quarter in just two weeks. (Which you’ll have to plan. Of course.) Caveat: it must be meaningful—create special memories people will cherish forever.
Now, imagine if planning this event is on top of your existing job, if this is brand new to you, and if you don’t consider yourself a planner. (Maybe you aren’t even a people person).
Where do you start from? Duh! The internet, of course. But scouring the web for hours is not an option. You don’t have time. And what would you even search for? “Events?” Plus, advice on the internet is like a plain cracker. Bland. It’s from someone who knows nothing about your unique business flavour and goals. (Try asking ChatGPT, ah!)
There’s another option: Customised, expert advice. And guidance. Quickly. From someone who’s a real person. Someone with experience in creating meaningful and impactful gatherings. Someone who takes the time—and care—to learn about you.
Enter The Gathering Tune-Up: Your on-demand meaningful event sounding board.
An hour-long consulting session where you can share your small in-person event-related questions and doubts and get answers immediately, an action plan, and even coaching. So you can have the complete confidence to be a host with the most.
Without scrambling through the process. Or worrying about burning up your precious time.
Quick! I take only a few clients every month.
(Need more guidance over time? Help to stay on track with your planning? You can book additional sessions or monthly check-ins.)
This is for you if:
You’re an HR manager & leader
You know how to help your team members and employees succeed, not how to design meaningful events that celebrate them.
You’re a conference organiser or planner
You struggle to see the big picture of your gathering because you’re also “in the frame.”
You’re a marketing manager
You juggle too many corporate events simultaneously (besides many other responsibilities) and struggle to have mental clarity.
You’re a beginner or occasional event organiser
You’re just starting but want to be seen as a pro of your memorable bash. You wonder—what’s the next step?
Gathering around food created possibilities and impact for our business.
Veronica’s ideas opened us to exploring the possibilities and positive impact that gathering around food could create for our business. Beautiful, carefully prepared, and thoughtfully shared food has helped our clients build friendships and made working with us more enjoyable.
Picture it: You pick the session that speaks to you, then hit that beetroot red “TUNE IT UP” button and ask your Qs live.
Pick a Session & Pay
Once you’ve purchased it, you’ll receive a link to my calendar to pick your time slot. You’ll also receive a brief questionnaire to complete (super easy!). Share your challenges and Qs so I can come prepared.
Get Guidance
You’ll get suggestions on what you can or need to fix, change, improve, or enhance. Imagine leaving the session full of information, actionable ideas and next steps! Ah, you can also record the session! (Pro tip: Bring your mood boards and floor plans!)
Review & Refine
Depending on your plan, you may receive a recap email + the action plan that wraps up our conversation, so you can review the conversation anytime. Or opt for the 30-day email support: you can sleep on “it” and follow up on additional questions.

FAQs
Is a Gathering Tune-Up right for me?
… and answers to other smart questions:
If you want to make a difference with your gathering—where people come together and feel like they belong and connect with each other—AND have an event challenge and need expert advice quickly, then YES! Whether you’re taking the first steps to bring your small gathering to life and are wondering—what’s the next step or have done events for some time and crave a fresh perspective and ideas, booking a Gathering Tune-Up session will give you the confidence (and the answers you need) to move forward.
In particular, it’s for you if you:
- See the value of 1:1 coaching.
- Have a specific challenge that we could tackle in 60 minutes.
- Need individualised feedback before taking action.
- Let small decisions keep you stuck rather than dive in, get messy, and do the work.
Previous customers have been business and design conference organisers, fashion community organisers, leadership team leaders, offsite designers for a fast-growing startup, and food entrepreneurs. One thing in common? They have/want to create small gatherings that make a difference. Ideally, you are the primary decision-maker responsible for the event.
In this 60-minute session, you can get answers to specific questions. If you’re looking for an in-depth audit or analysis of your gathering, then email me.
Everything is online—no need to travel anywhere. All you need is an internet connection.
Anytime you need one-off insights, feedback, or a second opinion on your challenges. Or you can book ongoing monthly sessions to stay on track and keep yourself accountable.
Depending on your chosen plan, your investment is either €247€, €347 or € 497. A Gathering Tune-Up also includes prep time on my end, using the customer insights and info you send and my research—so by the time we’re face-to-face, I’ll be bursting with ideas on how to tune up your gathering.
I offer these sessions a few times every month. Once you book your session, I’ll email you a link to my calendar for the available dates that you can choose from. I’ll also email you the link to our call and any necessary info.
A Gathering Tune-Up is non-refundable, and you must use it within 60 days from your purchase unless we agree otherwise. I do everything I can to make your experience outstanding. But if you believe you haven’t gotten any value from our conversation, say so at the end of the call, and we’ll figure something out.
A Gathering Tune-Up is a 1:1 session. Meaning: only one person can join the call. Ideally, the primary decision-maker responsible for the event. If you’re looking for a team workshop, email me.
If you’re unaware of what you need to know and what’s just a shiny object, all the free information in the world won’t help. Also, free advice on the internet is generic—from someone who knows nothing about your business and goals. So, if you’re on the fence, ask yourself: What would benefit your organisation most if you could choose between the undivided attention, knowledge, and taste of an expert with fifteen years of international experience vs. random advice from someone on the web?
Glad you’ve asked! I’ve got you covered—send your project brief here.
Of course. Let me know if you need one after you’ve booked and paid for your session.

I’m Veronica Fossa, an event strategist. Book a virtual event consultation to tune up your IRL gathering.
Designing and hosting an event is already overwhelming enough for the most seasoned event planner. Let’s not mention if you want to create gatherings that make a difference, where people come together and feel like they belong and connect with each other.
I get it: from the pop-up restaurant I opened from a car’s boot in the Helsinki Design District to the eat & connect lunch format I brought simultaneously to 20 workplaces in 14 countries worldwide and the Italian supper club I hosted in embargoed Moscow, those convivial events have been my bread and butter for 15 years.
So, whether you’re taking the first steps in bringing your event to life or have done events for some time and are seeking expert guidance or a second opinion on this different approach, I’ve got you covered.
“We could provide a different, more curated event experience than the typical conference dinner.”
