Ask the Expert – Digital Edition


All of us here at Ask the Expert want everyone to know something. We will forever appreciate the support and encouragement we have received. When we started this monthly column we wondered would we have a following or even get questions. During the planning process, at one point we even thought we might have to resort to our family members submitting requests. But thanks to all of you, we were surprised and in the best possible way. Not only did we receive a landslide of support. Your questions, issues and problems arrived. Not just in trickles but in droves. You make this team’s job very easy. So before we get started on this month’s focus, a big fat thank you for helping us to help others.

This month the Ask the Expert pros gathered together for another meeting of the minds. This time around it was to address the timely topic of digital resources. We’ve heard from you on Social Media. Even participated in the chatter on LinkedIn. And have been asked by our newbie event planning students more times than we can remember. What favorite digital resources do we like, subscribe too and basically can’t live without. So this time around it’s all about the favorites.
