Event Industry Influencers: #Eventtable Chat Summary
A summary of the April 16 #eventtable Twitter chat. The title of the chat was Event Industry Influencers: Who Are They, Really? (Note: This chat was heavily attended and went very fast. Some tweets were lost. Our apologies.)
Name three people who have influenced your view of meetings/events.
3 who have influenced my life: Martin Luther King, Jr., Rosa Parks, and all the Righteous Gentiles during WWII. #eventtable
Tahira - influenced by many-various reasons @claireconnects smart @samueljsmith risktaking and a guy named Fred for being real #eventtable- It would indeed be impossible to include everyone. Plus depending on your interest your influencers will change. #eventtable
1. Al Ries for Marketing 2. Brian Solis - Social Marketing 3. Guy Kawasaki - product evangelism #eventtable
Industry Influencers are @corbinball (as an expert) Roger Helms (someone I want to meet) and Aggarwal (competitor) #eventtable- Other influencers to our industry: ALEC, Stand Your Ground, anti-immigration laws. #eventtable

@JoanEisenstodt Made me laugh. Used to work for someone who called it "the war on (not "for") talent". #eventtable- I don't know if that list are all event influencers. Many are event impactors. #eventtable

- @JeniseFryatt That's the thing: the list recognizes power+money positions, all of whom are men. Flawed from the get-go #eventtable
