Let us know what you think! What do you want to hear about?

In this sparkling grand opening of Smart Meetings’ re-branded podcast, formerly Meeting of the Minds, now Smart Start: The Meeting Planner’s Toolbox, Smart Meetings editors Eming Piansay and Sara Robertson bring in managing editor Gary Diedrichs to dig into his extensive industry knowledge and expertise as a long-time meetings industry writer.

Discover the tie between the meetings industry and mushrooms (a mushroom leather conference booth? And it’s biodegradeable? Sign us up.), how business travelers tackle time zones, the key to getting your foot in the door at conferences, and why Gary wants Hawaiian barbeque. 

Tune in on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and Amazon to join us as we put together the toolbox every planner needs for a Smart Start.
