I recently drove over an hour each way and paid to attend a luncheon on a subject matter I was really interested in. Only to find speakers with poor presentations. It was obvious that the promoters of the event did not work with the presenters to tailor their talk to the specific needs of the audience. It was also clear that they did not review the presenters slides prior to the luncheon.

We’ve talked on this show about not doing boring presentations and incorporating gamification or hackathons into your events. If you haven’t listened to these episodes I encourage you to go back and give them a listen.

Today's guest is our first repeat guest. He is the Founder and Producer of Podfest Multimedia Expo, a rapidly growing niche conference held in Orlando Florida every March. He’s also the author of the book Start Ugly-A Timeless Tale about Innovation and Change. He is a professional speaker, and the host of the Live Event Profits channel on YouTube. Chris Krimitsos is our guest, again, on the event producer podcast.
