Speaker 1:

Hey, welcome to EXPOsed Conferences™. I'm your host Kristina Daniele. Thank you for tuning into the podcast where we are going to be exposing current trends, challenges, and the future of conferences as well. I'll be having candid conversations with industry experts that will elevate your events and help you create partnerships that expand beyond the calendar year. I'm really happy to have you listening today and hope you benefit from today's episode as well as future episode. On today's episode I'll be talking about who I am, why I'm launching this podcast and give you a sneak peek at what conference insights I'll be exposing in future episodes. So a little bit more about me. Who am I? As mentioned before, my name's Kristina. I've been in the conference industry for a little over 13 years on the side of the exhibition and sponsorship sales. I started my career in exhibition industry and I graduated from George Mason University in 2006 with a BA in communications. And when I graduated and as I was applying for jobs, I really didn't know which direction I wanted to go career wise other than I knew I wanted to be in the event space and I just kind of fell into exhibits and sponsorships, which is I think a lot of us in conversations find that we sort of just stumble into it. So fast forward 13 years later I'm working for a corporate entity. Still on the side of the exhibition and sponsorships. I've worn many, many hats over the years like most of you probably have as well and I've really, really found a love of exhibits and sponsorships and so that's where I've stayed. Why am I doing this podcast? I really wanted to bring together conference professionals to come together and share knowledge that I think we can all benefit from. I think naturally as someone who plans events, I enjoy connecting with others in the industry. I really enjoy learning what other professionals in the industry are doing and I wanted to bring that information to you in another sort of format on a more frequent basis and saw this as an opportunity to do just that. So exposed really is an opportunity for us in industry, to give you a space and a place to have these discussions surrounding relevant industry topics and hopefully give all of you an opportunity to hear and engage with others in the industry, expand your knowledge on new and existing resources and ideas that can help make your event more efficient that maybe you weren't already aware of. And then as well as stay relevant on the industry. How is it changing and evolving? I do have a nice range of speakers that I think you'll find beneficial to your then and enjoy hearing from. So whether it's building your event content, launching your event, getting insight into industry trends, grow your numbers and stay relevant on some of the issues and topics and ideas that we are seeing today in the community. The podcast is really an opportunity for us to share our knowledge and grow from one another, both from industry experts as well as our industry peers. So on future episodes I'm going to be having discussions with a lot of people in the industry that maybe you have already heard of or maybe I'll be introducing to you to somebody new that can share their knowledge of the industry itself as well. For those who might be new to the industry, hopefully I'll be introducing you to some of the fundamentals of what a conference and exposition is, whether it even means and who comes to these events as well as what you can expect from a conference planner. I know sometimes when people are looking to change careers or you know maybe graduating from college, they are interested in the event in space and so this is really an opportunity for you as well. So let's see, what else am I going to be exposing? Well, I don't want to give everything away. That's really the point of the podcast is to hopefully have you tune in every week to hear some of these discussions. And share some knowledge on some of these conversations that we'll be having on future episodes. But to give you some highlights, things that we'll be talking about are what's trending, what are we seeing on the trade show floor, but can we expect to see in the next few years? Technology technology is huge. How is technology changing and shaping the way we run our events, what cool things are racing at other shows and what can we expect to see down the road? And as well, giving you a holistic view of some of these advancements and how as professionals in the industry are we able to create value. While still engaging with our attendees, elevating your organization's brand and aligning your brand with your marketing team, growing your shows, and creating more value for our sponsors and our exhibitors to expand their visibility not just during the conference but throughout the year and give you the resources in doing just that. So there are a lot of topics. These are just the initial conversations that we'll be having and there's a lot of opportunity to have industry speak that will hopefully answer not only a lot of the questions that I've been having, but some of the questions and challenges that you and your organizations have been faced with as well, and whether you've been in the industry a long time or you're new to the industry or you're just curious to tune in. I think we can all learn from and grow from another and I'm really excited to start connecting with you and hopefully you as a planner, we'll find it beneficial as well. I look forward to hearing your feedback and hope you can find something you can take away from it. Again, I really appreciate you tuning in today. Thank you for listening to expose tune in every Tuesday to hear a new episode and join in on the conversation exposed conferences, podcasts that buzzsprout.com.
