My last business trip of the year was a good one!

In LA, I attended the @iaee_hq event for trade show professionals + also enjoyed the @tradeshownewsnetwork awards for 2024 where @stimulatetheshow was among the nominees, plus industry peer @kennedyorkiki was awarded a well deserved Icon award! Truly deserved and a wonderful role model I’ve been lucky to work with!

Other highlights included time with industry peers + friends, plus a visit from my hubby for half the trip. We prepped for our upcoming Beverly Hills @stimulatetheshow event + returned home rejuvenated + excited for the year ahead.

Cheers to work travel + and an industry I love with people I truly enjoy!

I don’t always blind fold my attendees when I speak… but when I do, I only take willing volunteers!

Enjoyed a few days in beautiful Palm Beach at @thebreakers with the @ala.members where I delivered a presentation on customer service + employee engagement to a fantastic crowd! Perk to spend time with @janehansonofficial while there, as well.

My #retail geek heart loves every adventure I get to experience along the way. Thank you @ala.members for having me!

Friends: please read this caption.

People [me included] love to gather together in person to learn, to experience, to network, to explore.

That's why specialty events, niche conferences/summits with dedicated programming, and tradeshows like #Lightovation at @dallasmarket are so popular right now.

We want and need the human connection.

But, if we can't travel to - or be at - all of them [ which most of us can't ] what can we do?

We can explore an event or a home together, online, in community - as our avatars - and that is exactly what the Metaverse Lighting Trendhouse LINK allows us all - and anyone around the world - to do, for free, 24/7, no email required.
____
My long term goal with this entire project I've been in charge of for #DallasMarket's Lightovation tradeshow [ as @smarthomelaura knows ] has been to help educate lighting retailers, exhibitors and their reps as well as interior designers on how to use this free content [ this link ] to bring people together, in their stores, showrooms and/or event spaces - in community.

This free content that @dallasmarket has made available is such a fun and exciting experience -- and allows everyone to walk through the Metaverse Lighting Trendhouse, in community with others [as their avatars ] - wearing virtual reality goggles [ or not ] and talk about what they're seeing.

In addition to VR and the actual metaverse experience in the Metaverse Lighting Trendhouse, it also incorporates AR and AI, so everyone has the opportunity to see how all of these technologies work together to create something truly spectacular.
____
During the upcoming June Lightovation tradeshow, I will be in the Metaverse Lighting Trendhouse installation from 9-11 on Wed, June 19th and Thursday, June 19th, to help all attendees understand exactly how to use the free content LINK to the Metaverse Lighting Trendhouse to:

Create a dynamic in store/in showroom event that will drive traffic, publicity and revenue.

Please join me there! @alalighting @alawomeninlighting @lightingonenational
