Want an example of how to capture content at events? Look no further than Shawn P. Walchef visit to the Pizza Expo 2024. While there, Shawn caught up with industry leaders, like Matt Plapp 🎥 🎤 🍴 📚, 🍔🍟🍕🎙 David "Rev" Ciancio, and Felix Bazgan as well as gave us a behind the scenes view of the events with local phenoms, like Guiliano Raso. Watch our behind the scenes look at this amazing event and be sure to listen to the replay of our Rising Tide LinkedIn Live Room for tips on how to navigate industry events. How do you plan on telling your event story?

What a great 3 days in Dubai attending Gulf Food. Reconnecting with old partners while exploring new opportunities, identifying a launch timeline, seeing what’s happening on the ground — can only happen with travel. No amount of video conferencing can give you the same impact in-person meetings accomplish. There are No lost in translation moments. No screen time can match the hand shake or hugs amongst partners. A home monitor cannot express your genuine appreciation for the person on camera nor show the immense respect for that partnership. Human contact is required. Travel is a must if you want to grow your business abroad. Meeting valued partners in their home market discussing obstacles and opportunities while seeing the local retail landscape cannot be ignored. Now — wrap travel to see partners you appreciate and respect, in with an industry you love — Top that with a firm (FLIX CANDY) with great products and licensed partners in both the entertainment and CPG categories —then underlined by the desire to grow exponentially, and WOW,,, what a time to be a part of the Flix Global Initiative. Safe travels my fellow globe trotters.

After working with a few professional associations over the last few years, there are a couple of things I’ve noticed. Because members volunteer to help organize their annual conferences, these volunteers change anywhere from every year to every three years. This changing of the guard makes it difficult to keep a good and accurate record of their event statistics (like room nights booked, food and beverage spend, and audio visual usage) from year to year. Often the current year planner only has access to the prior year’s information. 😲 This year, after collecting conference data for the past three years from each different planner for one of my associations, we were able to negotiate the best terms yet for their 2026 conference! 🎊 As difficult as it may be, I highly recommend making sure your association passes relevant information from planner to planner, year after year. You will be able to see trends, provide hotels with accurate information, and thereby negotiate the best terms for your next conference. #Associations #ConferencePlanning Photo: On a wine tour in Penticton, BC!
