By Ted Miller, HMCC, CHME, CHSP, CGTP, CGMP

Question: I have seen the announcement for the MPI-CAC Golf Classic, and my colleague and I are considering attending. Can you please explain the format of the event?

Answer: The event is set up as a Scramble, which means that all four golfers will hit their tee shots and then select the best shot to be used.

A picture is worth a thousand words …

Using Instagram in meetings is a great way to encourage networking, soliciting feedback and creating a buzz around the meeting.

Instagram is a powerful tool to visually attract potential attendees to come to your next event, but it only works if you know how to use it. From the planning stage, to the execution, to after the event; the way you use Instagram can make or break your next event.
