As I’m sure everyone with Internet connection is aware, Kanye West is going on tour this year for his newest album, “The Life Of Pablo”. Surprisingly, tickets are still available, ranging from a mere $45 to over $350 for 36 cross-country shows. Beginning on August 25 in Indianapolis, the tour spans through October 29 and hits up major cities like New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles.
If this tour takes any cues from his Yeezus tour, and following the legendary extended release of his latest album, it’s safe to say that the performance will be wild.

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.
If you’re an event organizer, you know the drill. Event goals often sound fantastic in the initial brainstorming session, but when it’s time for execution, they can easily collapse.
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.
