Let The Mayhem Begin With CPM
In case you have not figured it out I am in full on Convention Planning Mode. CPM I know has so many more meanings, but for me right now it means that I am pulling out hair with both hands and I am running out of hair. It has been making me not have the proper time here to be posting on a regular basis and for that I apologize. In case you have not been reading this blog, I should fill you in. I am the conference director and social media director for an event that is in its third year. It is growing and getting bigger each year and we are on track to be nearly double in size this year with exhibitors, attendees, sponsors and of course headaches.
The show is called BlogWorld & New Media Expo. I would be remiss in my duties if I didn’t invite you all to come and be a part of the show. For you event planners and meeting planners or if you are a trade show or convention organizer it is a must attend to learn about social media, blogging and all the other tools to help you market your event.
The problem I am having is with the 11 different tracks, the 4 sessions per track and three days of sessions. We are now over the 300 speaker mark and I am running around and feeling like I am nailing Jello to a tree. This is where I am curious about speaker management software. What is being used out there by experts? We at BlogWorld & New media Expo have the tech world at our fingertips and we are still going crazy with issues of back end mayhem and craziness. My boss who is a chairman of a chapter of the IAEE said I am suffering from "First Show Face". I think I called it something else. I am curious, what if anything are you using for your project management tool? Do you use a software to make your life easier? If you don’t know what I am talking about you probably look like I do right now.
