“There is no reason anyone would want a computer in their home.”. What a spectacularly incorrect statement. Ken Olsen, founder of Digital Equipment Corporation (which has since been acquired by Compaq, then Hewlett-Packard), said this in 1977. Now, less than 40 years later, we not only have computers in our homes, we have them in our pockets, purses, and even our jewelry.

I've been doing site visits for as long as I've been in association management--23 years at last count. If you're not familiar with the term, a site visit is when you visit a destination and/or conference site to help determine if you would like to book a conference in said destination and/or conference site. I just completed another one, and I was asked a question I'm often asked on these trips.
Association Universe brings together the best content for association members and organizers from the widest variety of industry thought leaders.

Effective Database
NOVEMBER 28, 2016
In over 17 years of consulting, I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had a conversation similar to this one: Client: “Our database sucks.” Me: “What makes you say that?” Client: “The data is bad. I pull a list of board members and I see lots of errors.” Me: “Why is the data bad?” Client: “Because the database sucks.” The reality is, for many users, bad data = a bad system.

The National Retail Federation, in its annual Thanksgiving-weekend wrap-up, says that although a little less was spent than in prior years, there were more consumers this year—and many of them were shopping online. The good news for retailers is that shoppers were out in full force on Black Friday. The bad? Those shoppers were a little more interested in big deals than in prior years, which meant a little bit of a hit on the bottom line.
