I had a great time at THETRADESHOW in Orlando. It was a fun-filled weekend where I had the opportunity to meet a lot of you in person.
On Sunday, I checked in with ASTA for the conference at the Orange County Convention Center. I was back and forth between both Carnival's booth and MailPound's booth. I was really happy to see Javier Yataco at the Carnival booth. Also, a lot of old friends came to visit me, including some from Clia3sixty. I also made some new friends along the way!
Speaking of friends, my good friends at MailPound invited me to speak at their seminar on Monday morning: "Hi Tech-High Touch Marketing," presented by Debbie Maier. During the seminar, Debbie showcased many of MailPound's online tools designed to build your client relationships, including Carnival's customized eBrochures. (They also kicked off their new blog so I want to welcome them to the world of blogging!)
During the seminar, I discussed GoCCL.com and the many features we offer online including our on-demand webinar library and tutorials. If you missed us at the show, don't worry! We will be presenting it again online for the Travel Institute. I'll let you know the date and time once we have it set.
On Monday night I attended YP Rocks! ...And the party was definitely rocking! I got to see many of you show me your best moves on the dance floor. I hope you all had as much fun as I did!
Here are some pictures from the show:







If you have any pictures from YP Rocks or the "Hi Tech-Hi Touch Marketing" seminar that you would like to share, please send them to me via email so I can post them. Thanks!
Well, I'm off to DC tomorrow. I was fortunate enough to escape both Hannah and Ike, although Hannah caused a lot of problems back in DC while I was gone. I really enjoyed my stay back home in Miami. I was so happy to visit with James (our "Superstar Trainer") and Carlos Roldan (my director). It had been about 3 or 4 months since I saw them last, with the exception of our webcam meetings!
I'm not sure what trade show is next on my list, but I'm already looking forward to it. I hope to see you there!!! =)
