I began AOO Events, an award-winning event design and production firm, in 1989. My team and I have produced some amazing events around the world but great productions don't happen in a vacuum. Over the years we've found ways to share ideas with other professionals through seminars we've given nationally and internationally. And today, in the spirit of the next big thing, we do so by blogging. Thanks for joining me and the "pack" at AOO as we unleash our design dogs in this blog, reporting on ideas large and small.
