My favorite thing with Connect is to catch up with all the people I know. It's a great place to connect with all the people in the industry. @tstuckrath Click To Tweet Because we are an older facility, what we have done is to focus a lot on the operational components. You have a little bit of structure there are so many things you can do. @SaltPalaceCC Click To Tweet We have found that event planners are usually not interested in facebook messenger as a communication tool. They definitely prefer SMS when deployng a chatbot. @elizabethglau Click To Tweet I think we can save money on our audiovisuals, we can save money on our decorator if we have it all at once. @Connect2Chris Click To Tweet One of the things that I often ask Event Planners to do is to walk through the journey of their attendee's experience from start to finish. @aaronwolowiec Click To Tweet

Will Curran

Information junkie, energetic, and work-a-holic are just some of the words we can use to describe Will Curran. Aside from spending 20 out of 24 hours a day working as the Chief Event Einstein of Endless Events, you can catch Will ordering a chai latte or watching The Flash with his cats. He is also well known for his love of all things pretzels.
