I have a passion for the meetings and events industry. Passion is good, but what does it mean? Passion means l love helping people produce meetings and events that not only meet their stated goals but surpass them. Putting the fun back in meetings and events doesn’t hurt either.

I have learned that by connecting your audience to an event you make them a part of the event, not just an attendee.

Whether the event is a meeting, a conference, an incentive trip, trade show or product launch, if you open a conversation and start a dialogue with your audience before, during and after the event you extend the reach of that event and make it a living thing, not just a “one and done” affair. Corporation, association or non-profit, the result is always the same.

I am also a twitter junkie, a blogger, a writer, a Chapter Board Member for SITE International and the Publisher of PlannerWire, a news, and information website for meeting and event professionals.
