JMU Madison Alumni Conference

It’s no secret to those that know me that I’m still mildly obsessed with what I consider the best college ever- my alma mater, James Madison University.

So I was particularly thrilled when recommended to speak at the upcoming Madison Alumni Conference, set for this Saturday, June 2. Look for me at 2:30pm when I speak on planning alumni events:

The J, M, & U’s of event planning with Meghan Ely

An event normally requires a place, a handful of fliers, and food. An exceptional event leaves attendees asking for an invite to the next event. In this fast-paced session, event industry expert and JMU alum Meghan Ely of OFD Consulting walks you through the key elements of event planning — from promotion and venue selection to the common mistakes you’ll want to avoid — to ensure your next alumni event is a success.

I’ll look forward to seeing my fellow alum on Saturday!
