 Saturday,March 6th, 2010Its amazing, in this new world of robust online technology, just how much there is to learn.

It has been a rich educational experience. To [...] Print This Post

Sunday,February 28th, 2010Last week I attended two conferences simultaneously, one in Cancun, Mexico (MPI Meet Different) and the other in Santa Clara, Ca.

This move caused quite a controversy in the Events community, because of the aggressively high [...] Print This Post
Thursday,February 4th, 2010It is hard to believe the big day has finally arrived. Tomorrow morning I board a flight at O’Hare to New York City. I am headed to Event Camp 2010. As I mentioned in yesterday’s article this “Unconference” will feature some of the finest “outside of the box” thought leaders in the events business, [...] Print This Post
Sunday,December 6th, 2009Has your organization scheduled a Hybrid Meeting sometime in the near future? If so, what guidance are you providing to your speaker (s) to prepare them for this style of event? This is an important issue that must be addressed to ensure success with your program. For those of you not familiar with Hybrid [...] Print This Post
Tuesday,November 17th, 2009Many of you read my article published on Sunday providing you a first look at the new web 2.0 tool Google Wave. To view that article please click here.

Tuesday,October 27th, 2009In August I published an article entitled “Hybrid Events — Whats All the Buzz?” Interestingly that article generated more interest than any I have written since I started this blog in April.
