Celebrity New York wedding planner David Tutera has found himself in a spot of PR bother. A number of newswire reports claim he took more than AUD$224,000 from a Singapore couple in return for his creative expertise but didn’t actually show up at the event.

One of our clients we contract to is a global live communications agency with a significant presence within the exhibition services sector and a growing presence within the design/delivery of events. Uniplan – German ownership, heavy China presence. They do nice work.

It has recently been reported in the Australian Special Events Magazine and the current issue of Mice.net, published on behalf of the Meetings Events Australia association, that the Sofitel Hotel in Brisbane has elected to introduce a new $75 ‘venue access’ fee to external audiovisual companies. Is it a big deal?

Sometimes the most unlikely stars are not those standing front and centre with the top billing but rather those toiling away in the background with great joyful conviction and gusto. It’s all about a positive attitude and being in the ‘now’… oh and being a tad shameless can’t help.

Bit of discussion concerning the clip in this post but the general consensus was that if a suitable warning is made then it should all be apples or in this case pommes.
