Last month we had the wonderful Zontee Hou speak on the Three E’s of Engagement and it was AWESOME! The attendees, both planners and suppliers alike, could not stop talking about the immediate take-aways from the program. We did not let a little (a lot) snow stop us from getting together and hearing this amazing speaker!
