I’ve been blessed to have flown in and out of Queenstown Airport hundreds of times, but in this photo, I wasn’t going anywhere except the tarmac. I call it “Kennedy meets Clinton”. It makes for a great brag shot, particularly with Air Force One in the background, but the reality was a very brief encounter that lasted about 8 seconds.  I think I said something like: “Welcome to Queenstown Mr. President”, and he said… “Hello”.   Notwithstanding the tragic (for me) brevity of the encounter, it was probably my most memorable Airport experience.  Which is one of the reasons I’m delighted to be a guest speaker next week at the “Elevate” Series of talks created by the Queenstown Business Chamber of Commerce and Queenstown Airport (ZQN) on the topic of “Experience”. I’m not sure a topic can get any broader, but I can’t think of a more appropriate place than Queenstown to explore the concept. I’m touting that through my career journey of events, sponsorship and tourism, I discovered the secret sauce to delivering transformational experiences, but you’ll have to turn up to see if that’s true.  And if it’s not, the good news is we’ll all be sitting in a bar that serves Margaritas… Thursday 25 July – 3.30pm to 5.00pm – Miss Rita’s Cantina – 35 Brecon St Tickets here: https://lnkd.in/g2gxf2Cq
