Reporting from the Carolinas’ 2018 OAA Convention
October 17th, Day 2, was the first work day of the joint convention of the North Carolina and South Carolina Outdoor Advertising Associations.
Reporting from the Carolinas’ 2018 OAA Convention at the beautiful Grove Park Inn, the day turned busy quickly with five speakers in six educational sessions, addressing an attentive crowd of 70+ conference attendees.
Kicking off the morning, first speaker Chris Clews, author of “What 80’s Pop culture Teaches Us About Today’s Workplace,” did just that: Clews shared movie quotes, song lyrics and lines from a book in the 1980’s, tying all of it back to life and preparing us for better understanding in today’s workplace.
Following Clews, Kelly Wirges of ProMax Training and Consulting. Wirges high energy and experience in media selling provided custom sales techniques for #OOH and the Outdoor attendees.
