Personal Note about the APWPC Conference (Bali) Cancellation
I was saddened to hear about the cancellation of the APWPC conference in Bali. Like the other speakers, and attendees, we were looking forward to it. That said, I’m not totally surprised, given what I’ve seen at other conferences around the world. I first met Jonathan Goh in Phoenix Arizona at an Association of Bridal Consultants conference. He attended a session I did, “Your Attitude for Success”, and told me he was so moved by it that he wanted to find a way to bring this kind of education, and specifically this topic, to his area of the world. That was back in 2010 and Jonathan has been working very hard to bring that to fruition. He’s a consummate professional and a very accomplished event planner, but doing an event like this requires something else… an equal enthusiasm from potential attendees.
What I’ve seen at other conferences is that a core of attendees, those who are already successful and those with a success mindset, sign up early. Others mull it over and wait until the last minute to decide, if they even decide at all (some just let it pass without taking action). I don’t know if they’re waiting for a better offer, or whether they don’t understand that to achieve success you need to invest in your business and yourself. While a few conferences, such as Wedding MBA, have been able to draw large crowds, it took them years to build that up as well. So while APWPC was not able to draw enough attendees to make it work, this time, to me it’s not a reflection on Jonathan as he, and his team have been working tirelessly to make it happen, with the best of intentions and action.
So, while Bali is not in the cards for me this time, I have high hopes that there are enough like-minded wedding and event pros who will see the value in creating education opportunities in the future. I hope to be a part of it when it does happen. Successful people never give up, they learn from each experience and move forward. Thanks, Jonathan for trying to make this happen.
I’m honored to be invited to be a keynote speaker at the Asia Pacific Wedding Professionals Conference in Bali, Indonesia. This conference seeks to facilitate networking amongst Asia Pacific wedding professionals and associated parties, resulting in the exchange of ideas, business opportunities and exchange knowledge on the different wedding traditions and practices.
I’ll be presenting a keynote presentation based upon my new book: “Your Attitude for Success”
Here’s info from Jonathan Goh, Organising Chair:
“I warmly invite you to participate in the inaugural Asia Pacific Wedding Professionals Conference (APWPC) 2012; the region’s premier conference for professionals, merchants and friends of the wedding industry.
APWPC is proudly brought to you by the Association of Bridal Consultants (ABC) Singapore. We are supported by the Association of Bridal Consultants (ABC) USA with over 5,000 members worldwide. APWPC 2012 is the first Asian-edition of ABC USA’s highly successful annual conference.”
In addition to my keynote presentation, I’ll be presenting 2 breakout sessions:

I’m proud to be joining the Event Leadership Institute for a webinar on my “10 Ways Your Website is Killing Your Business”. I’ll discuss the many things that event pros do that actually hurts their website’s response and conversion and talk about easy and free ways to fix them. Time-permitting I’ll pull up some of the websites of attendees and show how these play out in real life. Are you brave enough to allow me to review your website live? Those that have always walk away with real, usable information on how to improve their sites.

Join me as I return to the Latin Events Network for another presentation:
We want action! Conversion is The Key to Your Success
For years everyone’s attention has been on the Clicks — to your ads; to your website; to your email. But now, finally, the smart marketers are focusing on Conversion — what happens after those clicks, because those are the actions that result in sales. This session will explain why Conversion is where you should be focusing and how to track how you’re really doing. We’ll also talk about why brides are using email so much more these days and using the phone less.
What we’ll cover:
- Is this the end of the click?
- What Conversion is and how you can track it, online and offline
- How to communicate more effectively via email
- How to Add Value at every touch point.
