Ep 184: AI Playbook Launches in Vegas
Send us a textI can now say 'I did Las Vegas!'It was a breathtaking experience taking to the stage in the Planet Hollywood Hotel in front of 820 government comms pros at the 37th Annual 3CMA conference. Delivering the conference keynote, I brought the audience through the teachings in AI Playbook and also sold out the copies I had taken to Vegas, for what I'm calling the 'soft launch'.As I type, I'm on my way home and am 35,000 feet in the air over the Atlantic Ocean having left Boston two hours ago. So here's my audio diary of taking on a Vegas stage! Need More Support?
