EXPOsed Conferences™ Podcast
Welcome to EXPOsed Conferences™ Podcast, I'm your host Kristina Daniele, CEM. I have been in the hospitality industry since I began working at the age of 15 and I have been in the Conference Industry for a little over 13+ years on the side of Exhibition & Sponsorship Management and received my CEM (Certification in Exhibition Management) in 2016. I created EXPOsed Conferences™ Podcast to bring conference professionals together on a more frequent basis to discuss the fundamentals of conferences and relevant industry topics. EXPOsed Conferences™ Podcast mission is to connect planners and suppliers of the conference industry while exploring the innovation and the evolution of conferences. Through candid conversations with industry experts as well as your industry peers each episode will expose insider tips and resources of the industry to strengthen and elevate your events.
