Internet access at venues is a topic that causes significant challenges for planners. In this smart device connected age, attendees carry multiple devices and expect constant access and high speeds wherever they go. Internet access is not longer an option and free is not always the best answer.
We spent some time talking with Michael Owen of Eventgenuity and he gave us a preview of his upcoming session scheduled for the CMP Conclave in Baltimore. We cover not just the nuts and bolts of internet access, but some specific areas for planners to begin to improve their results from HSIA (high speed internet access). We also spent some time talking about APEX and the many free tools and information available to planners to help them begin to speak a common language with their vendors about bandwidth and much, much more. Here's a direct link to the APEX Bandwidth page: APEX Bandwidth & Connectivity You can register for the CMP Conclave here: CMP Conclave And you can learn more about APEX and the information provided there via this link: APEX

So that means that in less than a month attendees will be able to share in numerous sessions aimed at helping CMP's to hone and improve they personal and professional skills. The opening keynote at the Conclave titled "Lead with Levity" will be presented by Karyn Buxman. Karyn, a neurohumorist, has devoted her career and authored numerous books studying the ways that humor can enhance an organization and its leadership. She offers practical tips and advice for applying humor to all types of situations and ways for developing better skills to add humor to your daily habits. She spent some time on the podcast giving us a preview of her message, as well as a few of the many tips that she'll be sharing in person when she presents in Baltimore.

In this episode of the podcast we talk with one of the presenters who will be at the upcoming CMP Conclave in Baltimore.
Brandt Krueger, the owner of Event Technology Consulting is one of the "go to" speakers in the meetings industry on a variety of AV and technology topics. He's been published on numerous industry websites, spoken at events ranging from the recent MPI WEC in Atlantic City to last year's CMP Conclave in Reno (and dozens more). He also currently teaches classes via the Event Leadership Institute. In this episode we preview his session set for Baltimore on Projection Mapping. The session will focus on creative uses of video mapping to create amazing effects that come at a reasonable cost compared to some of the multi-million dollar effects we've seen used by major companies like Disney. He'll provide some great resources and insights into how adding this technology to an event can provide a great return on the costs while creating an unforgettable audience experience. Here are links to a couple resources that we discuss during the show: Projection Mapping Central: http://projection-mapping.org/whatis/ Christie Digital: https://www.christiedigital.com/en-us/projection-mapping Brandt Krueger's Website: http://www.brandtkrueger.com
