Last week at IMEX America (one of the largest meetings-related events in the world), I attended three different sessions on the “state of the union for meetings”. I was curious if my speaker friends could look forward to more engagements, or if I should tell them to start tightening their belt.

What does the eSpeakers iPad app do?
I (Dave) had a great time last Saturday delivering a 2-hour training session to the great folks in the NSA New Orleans chapter. Anytime I can eat red beans and rice and make some new friends is a good day in my book!
If you were at that session, please fill out the short feedback survey here: http://goo.gl/forms/2KCWxF6Gsc

Celebrating 50 years of the “I Have A Dream Speech” Infographic
DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR.
50 years ago, Martin Luther King Jr. gave one of the most famous and influential speeches in American history.

The speech, given by a lesser man in a lesser setting may not have earned the same attention. Dr. King knew if he were to truly help bring about change, he would need a speech and setting that would inspire. The March on Washington and “I Have a Dream” speech caught the attention of a nation, and brought it closer to the much-needed change.
