Why do I have to tolerate ads on my page that I have to constantly delete?

11/22/2024

Because META has decided to let anyone post on pages, postings from others on this page have been severely restricted. Should that not stop the garbage posts on this page from people I do not know. Should this effort fail, I will simply delete the page. Apparently META only cares about volume of posts, not the professionalism of posts. Maintaining this page as a professional page for those interested in our services has become impossible, with having to delete posts from unknown people consuming too much time.

I am so very proud of the blog Nick Reid,, and I worked on as a contribution to our work on the Meeting Professionals International—MPI Anti-Human Trafficking Committee. Awareness and collaboration among those fighting against these crimes are essential for the work being done around the globe.

MPI Academy is offering an AI Enhanced Event Professional Certificate Course. Today was the first of several offerings for this course. And . . . if you are an MPI member who also attended 2024 IMEX America, you should have a coupon for a discount. I hope other sessions of this course have such a collaborative group of people at different stages of familiarity with AI.

It happened 23 years ago in three cities, . So many lives were lost, including the police and firefighters who rushed to help.

Interesting read on transparency of hotel fees. If the law currently in process for approval is activated, it will mean transparency not only for the hospitality industry but also for anyone who travels. Some brands are already working on making their fees transparent (Hilton, for one). Fingers crossed that this is signed into law.

The bill must now be approved by the full Senate.

A nasty breach for sure. Disney hacked.

Thank you Susan Slavin Greenberg for posting this. My mom was a prisoner of Alzheimer's for more than 7 years. In that time, she did not speak, was fed by the nursing home, did not know me, and was hosted out of and back into her bed. Although they moved her to the room where the residents congregated, she did not watch TV, communicate with anyone. Those years were tough, I became her conservator when my father passed away and eventually the executor of her estate. At her memorial service, I held a post-service luncheon at a restaurant for about 50 family members invited all to come celebrate that she was finally free from her prison and happy to be united with my father. Caregivers of Alzheimer patients suffer too.

Here is Susan's post:
