Testimonial

A great conversation with a leader in the field of engaged events, Adrian Segar. Bernie and I hosted this one together for the first time.

Unfortunately there were a lot of technical difficulties and some of my questions didn't survive but there's still a tremendous amount of value in what did. We could have talked to him for an hour and barely scratched the surface of what Adrian knows about event engagement.

Please listen, share, and enjoy!
