Posts by Brandt Krueger

brandt kruegerAs a first generation personal computer user since the age of 6, technology is part of Brandt's DNA. Combine that DNA with a degree in Technical Theatre and a core in Psychology, add in almost 20 years experience in the meetings and events industry, and you get a powerful event technology cocktail. In addition to being published on numerous websites such as CorbinBall.com, EventManagerBlog.com, and the Convention Industry Council, he has landed articles in trade publications such as "Meetings and Conventions" magazine and "Insurance & Financial Meetings Management" magazine. He’s spoken at various industry events such as Collinson Collaborate, BizBash’s Elevate, MPI’s World Education Congress, FICP’s Education Forum, Event Camp (London, Chicago, and Middle East), and even a one week intensive for government ministers and guests on producing large scale events in Turkmenistan. He currently teaches public and private classes on Technical Meeting & Event Production through the Event Leadership Institute, and is the owner of Event Technology Consulting, which is an appropriate name for a company that provides meeting and event technology consulting services.
