If you've ever wondered what actually happens at a balloon convention—or whether it's worth the investment—this episode is for you.

I recorded this recap live from the Sempertex International Balloon Convention while the event was still in full swing. I share what the experience was like, how it compares to other conventions, and why I left feeling more energized than ever.

I talk about:

• The new Sempertex color launch and matching decor

• Why I loved the preset class schedules

• What made the instructor lineup so unique

• Vendor highlights (including latex dog toys!)

• The MBP (Master Balloon Professional) certification process, now available in the U.S.

• How it felt to be truly welcomed by the Sempertex team

Whether you're brand new to balloon decor or a seasoned pro, this episode will help you decide if attending this convention is right for you.
