Tomorrow the Greenbaum Marketing Communications team will be headed off to downtown Los Angeles to attend the West Coast Franchise Expo for a couple days of fun and adventure. Coming by land and by air, because some people are afraid to fly (Karey Crowl), we will be showing up in force at the event. I love the event because it's a great time to see my friends in the industry and hang out. Of course the social aspects are not the primary reason for attending, it is to learn what people are doing in the industry and find out how they are positioning their companies. The recent election of Barak Obama, economic downturn, and international events will be great topics for deep discussion. The highlight of the weekend will be taking our Hummer Limo to the party we are co-hosting with some friends at the Bonaventure Brewing Company. It should be incredible fun and we plan to make some new friends and clients in the process. I'll let you know how it all goes.
