IMEX America and LDI

10/12/2018

0 Comments

 
Next week I'll be at both IMEX America and at LDI (Live Design Institutes) in Las Vegas.  I'm hoping to come back with a lot of new industry updates, information and data about the newest technology.

Hopefully I'll be able to catch up with many friends from across both the meetings industry and AV worlds.

If you'll be attending IMEX, give a shout and look for me walking the show floor all three days and on Smart Monday.

​See you in Las Vegas!

The first episode of the brand new Strategic Meeting Tech Podcast will be available on our linked podcast site tomorrow.  After that you can expect to see a new podcast each week where we will discuss trending topics, technology and other stories that affect all of us in the meetings and events industry.

Hosted by Jon Trask, CMP, CMM; a radio journalist and a former co-host of the ground-breaking "Meetings Podcast" for nearly 10 years.  The Strategic Meetings Tech Podcast aims to become a go-to source for news inside the meetings industry.  We have a slate of solid guests already lined up, as well as some very interesting previews of the CMP Conclave, The CIC Hall of Leaders, an update from MPI, and looks ahead to IMEX America and LDI all coming up over the next few months.

Please drop us a note or comment with any areas that you'd like to have covered.  This is intended as a conversation and not a monologue, so tell us what you want hear about and we'll do our best to cover it.
