In a moment he won’t soon forget, one fan was awarded the birthday gift few ever get the chance to experience.
Keith Urban is currently on his Ripcord World Tour, playing shows internationally until the end of 2016, concluding in Australia. Urban sold out both shows at the New Hampshire Bank Pavilion, however the Saturday show gave one fan something special.
Rob Joyce brought a couple props with him to the show. These props included two signs, one was held by his girlfriend, reading “It’s my boyfriend’s birthday!” with an arrow pointing to a sign next to her. The sign next to her, held by Joyce, read “Can I play your guitar?”
Urban saw the signs and pulled Joyce on stage, talked with Joyce’s girlfriend a bit and promptly handed him a guitar.
Joyce, clearly proficient at guitar, nailed Urban’s “Good Thing” The entire moment was caught on video, watch below!
The economics of trade shows have shifted. Yet the ROI conversation is still murky. As trade show costs rise, budgets aren't keeping pace, creating pressure on event organizers.

Let’s be honest: there was a time when great content and a catchy title were enough to pull in a crowd. But today, events have become a go-to marketing play, and now, everyone’s in the game.
