Meeting and Event Trends

Here's an interesting article I just found on the IMEX American meeting and event planners' conference in Las Vegas, and notably, a report on current and future trends in the meeting and event industry. You can read it HERE.

I had a blast talking with Rick Mizuno yesterday. His show was broadcast live from Hollywood, but if you missed it, here's the direct link to the interview:  LISTEN NOW.

Link Update

Someone recently let me know that the link I had posted on September 20 to my
interview on Design Your Dream Life with Bertrand Dory did not take you directly to my interview. I've now corrected the original post, and HERE is the correct link.

Indies in Motion Interview

I'm really excited to announce a live interview I'll be doing tomorrow, Monday, October 14 on Indies in Motion radio program with host, Rick Mizuno, broadcast live from Hollywood. Indies in Motion is a show that features independent artists of all kinds:  musicians, entertainers, authors, fine artists, and now, for the first time a magician! The show is at 1 PM west coast time, or 3 PM here.

You can listen live on Channel 1 of www.GVBRadio.com. Or to if you miss the live broadcast and would like to hear it later, they also archive the past shows (I'm told the shows are usually available about two hours after the live broadcast). You can find those links HERE. Archived shows are also available on iTunes. Once I have a direct link to my interview, I'll try to post that as well.

Let's Meet in Bartonville...

It's that time of the month again (no, not that time of month).  It's first Wednesday, and time to stop by Tyroni's in Bartonville to see my amazing magic this evening from 5:30 to 8:00 PM.  (I just love the smell of their garlic bread!)

Event Planning Resource

I think I've mentioned Cvent before.  They're an online event planning company with a variety of helpful resources.  But I just discovered that their event planning blog was just named the 2013 Content Marketing award winner for best overall corporate blog by the Content Marketing Institute.  It features some cutting edge articles on planning events that are sure to be useful to anyone from meeting planners to conference organizers to someone coordinating an employee Christmas party.
