On this week’s #Eventtable Twitter chat, Mariela McIlwraith wanted to discuss how connecting with industry outsiders can increase the impact of our events.

So we started by sharing about communities outside of our field that we enjoy engaging in.  We discussed the reasons outside groups can benefit us and shared tips for interacting with them.

So what does ukulele virtuoso Jake Shimabukuro have to do with all this? I’ll let you ponder that connection.
