Europe!

I'm going to the Euro Expo, this year it will be held near Paris at EuroDisney. I'm ready, there are things I've had to create for this expo that weren't part of the Australasian Expo. I won't have a large audience of EmbroidMe franchisees, so my software launch and presentation will be different. I will do a new media/social websites presentation for the whole group, that's good, I have one prepared for them with handouts.  I'll get to be the emcee at the Supplier Dinner, doling out passport prizes and having fun with the attendees. The dinner has a dress theme, to come as someone from another country that will be present at the event. I thought maybe an easy to travel with costume would be a friar, long robe, rope-like belt, shriners hat? I'll have to decide and act by the weekend on that.  I'll prepare presentations for the Awards night, which is always somewhat of a scramble getting the names, stores, and attendance correct! 

The opportunity to see and help our franchisees is one I really enjoy. They get so much in the way of new ideas and a recharge for their psyche when they attend our shows. It's a tough schedule, there's not a whole lot of time to adjust to the 6 hr ahead difference, but we make it work each time. I'll have links to pictures from the Euro Expo... here is a link to our Flickr account and photos of the recent Australasian conference.
