How'd your last week go? I had a busy weekend, one where I was hardly home. It all started with a glorious day of skiing Saturday at Hoodoo Ski Bowl in Central Oregon, my favorite way to de-stress and exercise in the great outdoors:

Not only was it a snowbird day, it was Demo Day, so I spent several hours skiing on a handful of different models of brand new skis, which is always fun. Especially when you don't have to pay for them!

Sunday I hustled up to Seattle through the wild wind and rain for the NorthWest FoodService Show at the Washington Convention Center. A few hundred exhibitors in the food service and restaurant industries showed off their wares to a few thousand attendees. There was a lot of fresh food and vegetables and other vendors, including delicious seafood and other goodies, software services, espresso, condiments and assorted tools of the trade. Check my blog post with photos here as I took a examine some great booths and some, well, also-rans.

Last week I hosted our third webinar of 2016 which featured Lisa Apolinski of 3 Dog Write. She discussed how to create content that cuts through the internet noise. Lots of good practical advice, and if you missed it you can catch the replay here.

Our next webinar is set for April 19th at 9 am Pacific / 12 noon Eastern, entitled "27 Rules of Tradeshow Marketing," based loosely on the ebook I published several years ago called '101 Rules of Tradeshow Marketing." Yes, I'll make sure you get a free copy of revised the e-book at the end of the webinar. Should be fun and informative - sign up as usual at TradeshowGuyWebinars.com.
