About PlannerWire

I am Keith Johnston and my team and I consult professionally with event, incentive and meeting planners, associations and conference companies regarding event and conference web design, social media and technology.

I have been featured, quoted and written articles in industry magazines  including Event Solutions, Meeting News, Plan Your Meetings , Connect Your Meetings, Corporate and Incentive Travel, PCMA Convene, Connect Magazine, Mexico Meetings Network and was featured on the cover of Midwest Meetings Magazine (see cool picture).

Here are some more articles for Event Solutions and Plan Your Meetings.

There is even a great shout out from eVenues (thanks Kenji!).

In 2009, I participated in an online panel “Better Event Planning Through Technology“  with Dr. James Hogg, Chance Carpenter and Moderated by Jeff Hurt. Ton of fun with some really great people.

I speak at industry events on topics ranging from planning green meetings to social media strategy and I have even participated in WordCamp Chicago and in 2010, the blog, Industry Thoughts (PlannerWire’s old name) was nominated for an EventProfs blog award.

I have over 15 years experience planning and producing meetings, conferences, trade shows and incentive programs for companies and associations such as the Microsoft, Cisco Systems, the Economist, The State Bar of California, Pepsi Cola and many more. I also have over 10 years experience in integrating real world events with online technologies including web, social media, and related platforms.

You and this Blog:

I hope that you find this site interesting and that it helps you in your daily life as a meeting and event professional, I also  hope that you may laugh your ass off occasionally while reading or become so furious about something that it makes you  pick up the phone and call a congressman (or woman).
