Why should you put up your out of office?
3 Tips for When Technology Fails
Event Tool of the Week: Doodle
Everyone has their own go-to tools in the event industry that makes life easier. I've heard great things about Evernote, a free app that organizes just about anything you want. Of course, you saw my wall calendar, which keeps me organized. One tool that I like to use when scheduling meetings among more than 4 people is Doodle. Someone in our IT department used it when I first started at UNC a few years ago and I loved the simplicity of it.
With the Whole World Watching
I can't help but get excited to watch the US Women take on the "Group of Death" just as the US Men did during the World Cup just a year ago. The main difference between the men's team and women's team is that the women are not underdogs as the men were last year. However, the road to the final will not be a walk in the park as it has been in the past. With the pool of teams expanded from 16 to 24 this year, there seems to be no clear favorite to win it all. Thus, you have to stay tuned in to find out if American will be victorious.
When Technology Fails
We have no idea how much we rely on technology in our lives until it fails us. When it fails, it is like losing one of our arms. As an event planner, about 90% of my work is computer-based, which makes it incredibly convenient to work at home, on the road, communicate with people far away, work on presentations, and basically run my life. However, there are times when technology fails and it is important to know how to deal with that.
