A post in Russian Salad style
The festive season is in full swing, the New Year eve is coming, and therefore our today’s post is somewhat a combination of various news and findings related to the current mood and season as well as to the events, of course. Such mix resembles the infamous Russian salad, or Olivier salad, which is a mix of quite a variety of ingredients together making up a tasty dish, and a traditional one to appear at every Russian family’s table for the New Year Eve. Thus we decided it would make perfect sense we’ve got our very own Russian-salad styled post.

Event app, a good investment in your future
Getting to use the eventtech and ongoing mastering these skills is nowadays a must for any eventpof. I would say, it is one of the two things (the first is a foreign language skill) which are not an advantage anymore; at least not in that sense as used before. I would claim speaking a foreign language and being tech-savvy (in many ways) has become some kind of “natural advantage” – on one hand, it is still somehow a competitive advantage, but somehow already an expected element of any event manager profile/CV.
Telling a Story: Shall We?
I am reading the blog post by Jeff Hurt (I wish I got to read this awesome blog while I studied at Uni!) about what is going to happen with conferences – some great insights and thoughts there.
