Our own Andy Ebon has been on a traveling tear… In the last 30 days he has made presentations in Silicon Valley, Trinidad & Tobago, Reno, Irvine, and Raleigh.

His next stop is The Platinum Hotel for the Las Vegas Wedding Network. Andy will give a preview presentation from his forthcoming book: How To Avoid Weddings Of Mass Destruction.

In September, 2009, Andy gave this presentation to more than 1000 attendees at Wedding MBA and rocked the conference. And he will reprise it at LVWN with an updated rendition.

The presentation peels back the layers of the wedding industry: Brides, budgets (or lack thereof), selling, and the various interactions (functions and dysfunctions) of the wedding day participants (bride, groom, family, and wedding vendors).

Andy will discuss issues that most people just whisper about. His perspective comes from personal participation in close to 1000 weddings, as a DJ Entertainer, and close interaction with wedding industry businesses over three and a half decades.

His recurring theme..

“What’s in the best interest of the bride?”

… will resonant with you, long after the meeting concludes.

The presentation will be provocative, politically incorrect, and will surely give you pause.

Come to LVWN at The Platinum Hotel … invite an industry friend. Maybe two or three.

Our recent  Las Vegas Wedding network event held at Aliante Hotel & Casino was attended by 65 wedding professionals who came to hear what brides would say after the wedding was over. Here is a photo slide show from the event. Be watching for videos of the event, so if you missed what we learned from these brides, you still have a chance.

You can meet these wedding professionals at the next Bridal Spectacular bridal show!

Ricky Gulati of Memory Lane Video, makes a decided effort to network heavily. He is active in the Las Vegas Wedding Network and the Las Vegas Chapter of NACE.

Recently, he’s added a new tactic to his strategic arsenal. Coffee With Ricky, a video podcast. He hasn’t set in stone a schedule for the podcast series, but it’s a good bet it will eventually be a monthly offering, if it’s to be effective.

His audience is both brides and the local wedding professional. His intent is to provide good information and position himself as a wedding industry expert; particularly in the Las Vegas market.

The guest in this episode is Debbie Hansen, Producer of Bridal Spectacular, a Las Vegas – based wedding trade show for almost two decades. While it will take Ricky a few episodes to reach his comfort zone as host, he is well prepared with all the right questions the viewer would want asked. The result is an effective promotional tool for both interviewer and interviewee.

The questions you should be asking are:

• Could I produce an audio or video podcast myself?
• Could I collaborate to produce an audio or video podcast?
• If not as a producer, am I prepared to be a guest on someone else’s show? (Locally, regionally, or nationally)

Credibility and authority in the wedding industry  is important. This is a great example of it.
