What others are saying about Traci’s Blog

I have a warm and fuzzy feeling in my heart for tradeshows, as that is where I got my start oh so many years ago. At the original EventCamp in New York City in 2010, I met Traci Browne. Traci “gets” trade shows and we had several wonderful conversations that weekend.
Upon returning from EventCamp, I was entering her information into my Outlook contacts and decided to check out her website – TradeShowInstitute.com. Oh my goodness! Where was this content when I was getting started? Written in a very readable style, useful tips are offered up and commentary is crisp and focused. Be sure to check out the trade show resources she offers up as well!
You will have no doubt where Traci’s opinions are when she offers up her commentary. I don’t always agree with her perspective, but she is fair in her discussions.
I do have one criticism of her blog – she does not post as often as I would like. I could offer the same criticism about many of the other sites listed here on Keith’s post. You’ll have to excuse me now; I just remembered when I last updated MY blog……
