Happy Independence Day!  Welcome to my first ever blog.   The name Good Show! derives from way back in my Disney days, as a recent college graduate learning the ropes of customer service , event psychology and live show production .  When something was done right, it was called, " good show ".  Conversely, when something was not done right, you guessed it, it was called "bad show".

This blog seeks to compile all that is good about meeting and event planning and production.  I'll write about any topic that is relevant.  As a meeting and event producer, I strive to make all my shows "good shows".  I attend many shows that I produce and many shows that I don't.  Often times I am not in complete control of all elements of a meeting or event and I have to force myself not to shout out "what were you thinking when you planned this?!?"  Now, instead of shouting, I can blog, and the best part is, I own the company so my boss can't fire me!  Click here to learn more about my company, Event Source Productions.

Writing my observations and expert opinions is new medium for me.   I haven’t expressed my thoughts on paper since my “dear diary” days.   I usually just tell people what I think.   At least in a blog, I can edit as I editorialize.   You’ll thank me, I’m sure, and feedback is highly encouraged.   Email me at angela@eventsourcepro.com.

The topics on this blog will focus on the meeting and event industry, so if you are an industry professional, internal corporate planner, thinking about a career in the meeting and event industry, or just like to read about it, this blog is for you.   Our industry is rapidly growing and changing.   If there is a topic you’d like to read about, please let me know.  

Here are some topics I am considering:

These first few subjects should get the blog juices flowing and bring about many more interesting issues to discuss.   My hope is that this blog will help to improve our industry standard practices and help clients better understand and respect our craft.   Check back often.   I will try to tackle topics in a timely manner (say that 5 times fast), schedule permitting.   I hope you’ll learn something you can use, teach me something I can use, or at least find a camaraderie where we can share triumphs, air frustrations, find solutions and improve an industry we all love.
