DJ Event Planner

The Disc Jockey News will be putting on a Leadership Development Workshop on March 19th and 20th, 2007. The workshop will be held at the Holiday Inn Select in Bloomington Minnesota, just a few minutes away from the MSP Airport and the Mall of America.

Quality leaders make things happen and can do tremendous things, but without proper training and tooling, even the best intentioned leaders can confuse and frustrate those around them and become ineffective. The two days of leadership training in March will focus on developing yourself as a leader and working with others to develop additional leaders for your team to improve your local market.

To take advantage of this great opportunity, contact the Disc Jockey News at 320-285-5263. Anyone that has an active DJEP subscription will receive $25 off the registration fee. You must mention that you are a DJ Event Planner member when you register to receive this discount. For more information about this event go here.

DJ Event Planner was founded on November 1st, 1999 when the domain djfinder.com was registered. Originally a DJ Search Engine, the software has developed into a full-fledged application for the Mobile Disc Jockey industry. This web-based application is a complete event management system that features a contact manager, lead management, employee and equipment scheduling, financial reporting, and end-to-end event tracking. The software also features DJ Website Tools, which are interactive tools that can be added to enhance a DJs current website. Some DJ Website Tools include: availability checker, information request form, searchable music database, payment gateway, contact form, event calendar, guest request system, and a logon.

The International DJ Expo is "The World's Largest Gathering of Professional DJs" and will be held August 10th through the 13th, 2009 at the Taj Mahal Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City, NJ. Thousands of DJs attend this convention and come to see the seminars, massive exhibit hall, and attend the night-time parties.

DJ Event Planner is proud to be a part of the show for the second consecutive year. We will have a booth in the quiet section of the exhibit hall. To find our booth, go in to the exhibit hall and turn left. Keep going until you see our booth at the end of the aisle. Our booth number is Q20.
