We love #eventprofs

We have been postponing a post about #eventprofs for too long.

It is a great idea of Lara and powered by the community.

Lara also had the idea to create an award for all the blogging #eventprofs and we were nominated in the Education Category .

You are more than welcome to vote for us if you wish, but most of all get to know other event blogs and their opinion. Some great peeps in there.
