It's been a little while, but Amanda and Darryl are back to talk about moving to a new town for a new job with guest Ralph Robinson, CAE, CMP, and DES.

Be honest...would you drop everything and move to a new city for a job? I think it's safe to say that most of us aren't that brave. But what if you did? How do you re-establish your roots? Let's listen and learn.

Event Design? Who has the time for that? I thought the same until I started reading what our guest, Adrian Segar, had to say. Come listen for a discussion on what event design is and isn’t and how all of us can integrate it into our programs (without going crazy!). From bringing particles together at Cern to bringing participants together in a hotel ballroom, Adrian shares some cool ideas for us to try right away.

We always try to put on the best meeting and event for our clients, attendees, or partners. But are we being welcoming and inclusive to all of our guests?

The podcast is back and in this episode, Darryl, just Darryl (Amanda will be back..I promise) talks to an amazing planner about their experiences.

Thanks to Jolene Jang, Asian-American ambassador and meeting planner who joins us this week to help us learn more about these groups and how we can do better.

We’re back and have some more episodes planned for this year. But we’d love to hear from you. Do you have an amazing event you just pulled off or have an idea for a cool topic we can tackle?

We always try to put on the best meeting and event for our clients, attendees, or partners. But, how often do we stop and look around? As planners, when we go to an industry event, are there real/concrete takeaways that we can apply to our planning when we get back?

In this episode, Amanda and Darryl talk to two amazing planners about their experiences at IMEX Americas and talk through Darryl’s time at PCMA’s Convening Leaders meeting earlier this year.

Thanks to Nathalie Johnson, Sr. Meeting Manager at the American Association of Neurological Surgeons (AANS) and Claire Abrams, an independent planner for sitting down and sharing their thoughts.

Once they figure out how to count to 3, Amanda and Darryl are back and discussing the fun of air travel, specifically delays. The episode focuses on the importance of being prepared for delays and how to handle them for speakers, staff, and attendees. They share their personal experiences and provide tips and strategies for minimizing the impact of delays on meeting plans. If you plan events or meetings, you'd better be ready for delays and have plans B, C, and D ready to roll so that your event isn't interrupted. You'll gain insights on being more proactive in dealing with delays and making the best of unexpected situations. As the great Kinky Friedman once said, you can't get to Heaven or Hell without passing through Dallas-Fort Worth International.

Amanda and Darryl spend Halloween with famed meeting planner and now author, Terry Matthews Lombardo, CMP (or just TML to her friends). After navigating the pitfalls of Darryl’s bananas, your second-favorite pair of podcasters talk to TML about her awesome book, “Meetings Mayhem!”. Listen to all the great stories she has experienced firsthand and those told by other planners. If you think you’re the only planner crazy #@$!#$ happens to, read this book and think again!

Please support a fellow planner by buying her book today: https://terrysworldtravels.com/published/buy-meetings-mayhem

If you’d like her to consider a story for the next version of the book (or part deux as those of us in the know call it), email her at: tml@cfl.rr.com
