Jimmy Fallon, host of NBC’s Late Night, was recently asked about hosting his hit evening talk show. He had a great observation, that it’s like throwing a party. When you have a party, you can have fun but ultimately it is your responsibility to make sure everyone else is having fun, that there is plenty [...]

by Dayna on August 17, 2010

Getting the Most from a Conference

by Dayna on October 6, 2009

Despite the travel hassles and the same food across the country at the lunch and/or dinner, a conference is still one of the best ways to keep up with your industry, network with like-minded individuals and form relationships and, open your mind to new ideas and new ways of doing things.
