I am pleased to introduce the first installment of Esprit's monthly eNewsletter, Production Notes. I hope that this will provide you with new tips and tools to make your next meeting the best ever. Your feedback is always important to me and I look forward to hearing your comments and suggestions as you receive each month's eNewsletter.

Each newsletter will include:

Headset – Where we discuss how todays’ audiences are learning and reacting to what we present.

Showcase – Where we present a recent event and discuss what ideas, big and little added to the experience.

Featured Blog – Will showcase one of our 100+ Blogs where we discuss topics that include Audience Engagement, Event Design, and Technology Tools among others.

Postcards – Being at so many great hotels and venues throughout the year and meeting so many new people is part of the wonderment of being in meetings and events. This section is where I will share one of those little lessons learned, aha or dah moments from something that happens along the way.

Sincerely,

Ron Springer
