Another Amazing DJ Conference

I went to the North Texas Entertainers Conference yesterday in Grand Prairie, TX. I attended some great workshops and drove back to Austin quite inspired despite three hours of sleep the previous night. Three lectures were presented by Peter Merry that were excellent. Peter is setting the bar higher for many DJs by showing how great service can be delivered. His first seminar was about marketing and using web 2.0 websites to expand and share things. I am way into that already in many ways. For instance, you can follow me on Twitter if you want to keep up with my day to day runnings. His second was grand entrances and how to make them more personal to all in attendance. He told a very touching story of a widow that he introduced in a bridal party that I am sure touched everyone in attendance. My grand entrances will be different from now on. And his last presentation over dinner was the Starbuck's Effect and how their model of service and quality can be applied to the DJ profession. Erlier in the day, we had a great presentation on Latin music from Jaime Chavez that gave me a much better understanding of Mexican regional and tejano music. We also saw a great presentation on computer-controlled DMX lighting that amazing. Big props to the DFW ADJA chapter for a great show!

Let me put this some of this knowledge to use for you!

North Texas Entertainers Conference

I will be heading to Grand Prairie, Texas for The North Texas Entertainers Conference on Monday, August 25th. I am excited to be hanging out with some of the best entertainers in the Dallas-Ft Worth area and also attending some great workshops all day long including one with Peter Merry titled "The Starbucks Effect: Working With The Personalized Bride"that will be great.

It's another way that I am working hard to serve those I work with and to keep growing as an entertainer.

The Knot

I went to a great gathering of wedding vendors this week for TheKnot.com and I even got to meet the president Janet Scardino. It was a great event with food and drinks and lots of people to talk with. I met some new vendors that will be on upcoming episodes of Austin Bridal Secrets and was accompanied by Austin's favorite PR queen, Dean Lofton. Being an advertiser on the The Knot has really helped me meet some great people who I am proud to serve and be part of their special day.

Let me know how I can help you.
