Traveling to conference isn’t always what it’s cracked up to be, despite the amount of sassy photos I tend to post on my Facebook page.
Don’t get my wrong- I love perusing Sky Mall as much as the next person but at the end of the day, it takes quite a bit of energy to work ahead, select a travel worthy coffee to have on hand and spend a week constantly searching for plugs and wifi connections. Plus- there are always the “hidden” costs like the time I was in Phoenix for a week and decided during Skype sessions with my husband that I didn’t like the paint color on the walls behind him. So I came home and had them painted, which according to my accountant, is *not* a business expense.
So I did a little happy dance when I found out that Stacie Francombe was bringing her heralded Inspire Smart Success to Orange, Virginia. While it may come as no surprise that they had me at Orange, I was also jumping at the chance to hear Stacie speak. We had crossed paths at the Wedding MBA in 2010 but quite a bit has evolved in the world of wedding marketing and pr, and I was eager to hear her take on the industry. As you’ll see from the Panel of Experts below, we’re in for a treat with some of the best names in the wedding business today joining in on the fun:
