Bruno Group Signature Events launched an email newsletter and website this month dedicated to event-industry technology. The biweekly Event Tech Brief was developed with three goals in mind: to assist event producers tasked with purchasing technology, create a neutral, no spin zone where the technology can be dissected and compared side-by-side and deliver the content [...]
Besides the obvious–the end of year holidays–December was a busy month for the Bruno Group Signature Events team preparing for and moderating two panels at IAEE’s Annual Meeting in Orlando. Moderating duties for the first panel discussion, “How to Execute a Virtual Event: Five Key Building Blocks,” were shared by BGSE’s Michelle Bruno and Warwick [...]
Early in the month, BGSE’s Michelle Bruno led a panel discussion at the 2012 T-Awards in Louisville, Kentucky.

Bruno Group Signature Events as been very busy over the summer. Michelle Bruno showed up in blog posts, webinars and print publications talking about event-industry technology.
On March 15, 2012, Michelle Bruno developed and moderated a panel of experts on virtual/hybrid events for the TSNN.com Webinar series. Mary Beth Micucci of HIMSS and Kenji Haroutunian of Neilsen delivered the kind of advice that event planners dream about receiving when it comes to executing a digital conference. At the end of the presentation, Michelle pinned them down (nicely, of course) on some of the tough questions that planners are asking about what’s working and what’s not working.
March was a busy month at BGSE. On March 8, 2012, Michelle delivered a Webinar for the folks at Pathable. Over two hundred listeners joined her to listen in on the strategy, selection and trends around event-related mobile platforms. In a nutshell, strategy is key and should align with the organization’s/event’s strategy; mobile web vs. native app is still a key element to consider when selecting a mobile platform for an event and floor plans, exhibitor directories and conference agendas still dominate the features of most mobile solutions for events. After the Webinar she received several emails and LinkedIn inquiries about specific apps and functionality demonstrating that it’s still a huge issue for event planners and trade show organizers. We can’t imagine it will die down any time soon.
After serving on the EIBTM Tech Watch committee for the first time, Michelle Bruno was invited to deliver three presentations on technology-related subjects at the event held in late December 2011 in Barcelona.
