Podcasts about conferences

11. Professor Paul Thomas Chamberlain describes the Casablanca and Tehran conferences, where Allied leaders grappled with the realization that the Soviet Union would emerge as a dominant European power. He highlights Roosevelt's anti-colonial vision, which sought to replace imperial systems with a liberal capitalist order based on free trade and self-determination. Roosevelt's outreach to Chiang Kai-shek in Cairo reflected his recognition of China as a future pillar of this new international framework, often managed in private and out of earshot of Winston Churchill.

12. Professor Paul Thomas Chamberlain details Allied contingency plans like Operation Rank, designed to rush airborne troops into Berlin to prevent the Red Army from occupying all of Europe if Germany collapsed suddenly. He explains that by 1944, Churchill was deeply concerned about Soviet dominance and sought to redirect Western forces into the Balkans or Mediterranean to protect Britishinterests. Despite these internal tensions, the U.S. demonstrated unprecedented superpower capability by launching simultaneous major offensives across both the Pacific and Europe. (12)1942 TORCH AT CASABLANCA

In this special International Women's Day episode, I wanted to take a moment to celebrate the incredible women inside my coaching programs and share some of the momentum they're building in their photography businesses.Watching photographers grow their confidence, raise their prices, and step into stronger positioning in their businesses is one of the most rewarding parts of the work I get to do. So today I'm sharing a few wins and updates from photographers inside the community who are doing amazing things right now.I'm also recapping my recent experience at WPPI (Wedding & Portrait Photographers International). Being surrounded by photographers from all over the world was such a reminder of how powerful community can be in this industry. Conferences like WPPI always bring fresh perspective, inspiration, and new conversations about where the photography industry is headed.This episode is also sponsored by Aftershoot, a tool many photographers use to streamline their editing workflow. One of the newest updates I'm excited about is that you can now train Aftershoot with just one Lightroom gallery. That means photographers can teach the AI their editing style much faster and start saving time in post-production while still maintaining their personal look.If you're a photographer looking to grow your business, find community in the industry, and simplify your editing workflow, this episode is for you.Free Resources from me I Mentioned: https://racheltraxler.com/shop

Couples therapy can be some of the most rewarding work we do as therapists, but it can also be one of the most challenging. Many couples don't reach out for help until things feel like they're falling apart. By the time they sit down in your office, there are often years of resentment, hurt, and miscommunication built up beneath the surface. In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Wyatt Fisher, a psychologist and couples therapist who has spent years refining his approach to helping couples work through those deeper issues. Wyatt shares how his own personal and professional experiences shaped his work with couples and why he eventually moved away from the traditional weekly therapy model. We talk about the power of marriage intensives, how addressing resentments first can change the entire course of therapy, and some of the practical tools he uses to help couples rebuild connection and accountability. Wyatt also shares how he's structured his practice to include intensives, coaching, classes, and conferences to create a more comprehensive model for helping couples. If you work with couples or have ever wondered how to structure therapy so couples can make real progress faster, I think you'll find this conversation really interesting.

Host: Annik Sobing Guests: Jennifer Varney (Volvo Group), Penny Chen (PAX) Recorded at: ICPA Conference, San Antonio, TX Published: March 2026 Length: ~25 minutes Presented by: Global Training Center AI Meets Trade Compliance: From Auto Supply Chains to AI Live from ICPA San Antonio, Annik sits down with Jennifer from Volvo Group and Penny from PAX for an all‑women, International Women's Day‑timed conversation about how AI is actually being used in trade compliance today—far beyond the buzzwords. They explore the reality of AI inside a massively complex automotive supply chain, how duty drawback is being reimagined with AI, and what trade teams should think about before buying or building any tools.​ What You'll Learn in This Episode Session highlights from ICPA Jennifer: Practical implementation of AI to support customs clearance at the enterprise level—how one company uses AI to survive an “ever‑changing and incredibly volatile” trade landscape. Penny: A “beginner‑friendly” intro to general AI tools, how large language models work, and how trade compliance leaders can evaluate AI quality and fit.​ The automotive reality: 1,000+ policy changes and thousands of parts In just the last year, there have been 1,000+ trade policy changes worldwide, affecting about 5 trillion dollars in spend. Most of the real impact comes from trade barrier changes, not facilitation measures. A single vehicle can have 2,000–3,000 parts sourced from thousands of suppliers globally, some in‑house, some external. New demands around Section 232 (steel/aluminum/copper), forced labor, EUDR, connected vehicle rules, dual‑use, etc. mean OEMs must know their supply base down to raw material origin and processing, sometimes 5–6 tiers deep.​ Why human-only workflows can't keep up Many tier‑1 suppliers don't even have the data OEMs now must report, or consider it proprietary. Trade teams are drowning in documentation, entry creation, and ever‑changing regulatory demands—falling behind risks blocked shipments and massive cost. Jennifer's view: AI is less about replacing people and more about augmenting limited resources before they're “buried under all of the legislative changes.”​ Where AI fits in (and where it doesn't) Example use case: consolidating multiple documents (PO, invoice, BL, shipping manifest) to build a single 7501—AI reads different formats, extracts the right fields, and populates data so humans review instead of retyping. Penny's rule of thumb: if it's a task you'd happily delegate to an intern, it's a candidate for automation or semi‑automation. AI frees people to focus on high‑value work: audits, wider coverage (5% → 99%), forecasting regulatory changes, and adjusting systems/processes for what's coming next.​ Starting your AI journey: practical adoption path Step 1: Use free or existing tools (e.g., Microsoft Copilot) for summaries, data cleaning, and simple tasks. Step 2: When needs get more complex, consider specialized AI tools (like PAX's AI‑powered duty drawback service), but pair them with solid ROI analysis: cost vs. time savings vs. recovered dollars. Step 3: For large enterprises, begin with defining pain points and a data strategy: Where do you spend the most time? Which activity is eating 90% of your bandwidth? What data will go into AI, and what exactly do you want back out?​ Overcoming fear and building buy‑in Penny's take: curiosity is your best ally—if you don't know how to use AI, start by asking AI how to use AI. Jennifer's advice: Engage stakeholders early; give them a voice in how the tool is designed and used. Set realistic expectations—even with aggressive automation, maybe only ~30% of workload can be automated today. Focus human effort on strategy and change management, not repetitive admin.​ Choosing the “right” AI for your team Not every company needs every AI—e.g., if you classify one item a month, a classification platform may not be worth it. For trade leaders, tool selection should be guided by: Where you lose the most time or money. Data type mix (text + structured data). Compliance/guardrail needs and vendor transparency about models and controls. Conferences like ICPA are key: they surface real use cases, connect trade and tech experts, and help teams refine what they actually need.​ International Women's Day Spotlight This episode also celebrates International Women's Day and highlights women leading in trade, tech, and compliance—from OEMs to AI startups. Annik closes with a shoutout to all women in trade who are building, leading, and pushing the industry forward.​ Credits Host: Annik Sobing Guests: Jennifer (Volvo Group), Penny (PAX) Recorded at: ICPA Conference, San Antonio, TX   Listen & Subscribe Simply Trade main page: https://simplytrade.podbean.com​ Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/simply-trade/id1640329690​ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/09m199JO6fuNumbcrHTkGq​ Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/8de7d7fa-38e0-41b2-bad3-b8a3c5dc4cda/simply-trade​ Connect with Simply Trade Podcast page: https://www.globaltrainingcenter.com/simply-trade-podcast​ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/simply-trade-podcast​ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@SimplyTradePod​ Join the Trade Geeks Community Trade Geeks (by Global Training Center): https://globaltrainingcenter.com/trade-geeks/

Here's what I'm hearing in the field this week—real conversations, real patterns. 1 – Conferences don't end when the conference endsThe most important part of working a conference is actually after the conference. Most people do the "meeting before the meeting" well—setting up conversations ahead of time. Where 90–95% fall short is post-conference follow-up. Your follow-up plan should: -Be intentional -Start on day one of planning -Have a 6–12 month shelf life If the follow-up isn't tight, the conference ROI disappears fast. 2 – Your value shows up in the questions you askI keep seeing this: As someone's sense of value goes up, the quality of their questions improves. Simple. Direct. Curious. Too many people: -Take orders instead of guiding -Avoid asking deeper questions -Stay on the surface to feel "safe" But the real work happens below the surface. Better questions → better listening → clearer understanding of client pain. If someone is in the room with you, they already see your value. Step into it. 3 – Clarity removes friction—every timeHere's a simple rule I give clients: When managing people → they should always know what to do now and what to do next When working with clients → they should always know what you're doing now and what's coming next Over communicate. Confusion is optional. 4 – Knowledge isn't enough—translation is everythingYes, stay up-to-date with: -Podcasts -Articles -Real-time data -Industry signals But the biggest gap I see is here: Not explaining what it means to the client. They don't care how much you know. They care about: -What this means for them -How they should execute differently now -Translate. Simplify. Target it to their world"

Preparation feels productive. But sometimes it's just avoidance dressed up as diligence.In this episode of The FutureProof Advisor, I explore why the research we do to “get ready” can quietly become the reason we don't move. Conferences, books, podcasts — they trigger the same dopamine response as actual progress. The brain rewards consumption as if it were execution. But information without implementation creates motion without momentum.The deeper risk isn't that we don't know enough. It's that we overestimate how irreversible our decisions are. Most changes in an advisory firm — new technology, a different pricing model, a revised workflow — are reversible. Yet we treat them like permanent, career-defining moves and analyze them to exhaustion. Meanwhile, delay compounds. Revenue stalls. Capacity tightens. Competitive gaps widen.Real growth comes from action under uncertainty. It comes from running small tests instead of drafting perfect plans. From putting something at stake — time, capital, reputation — so feedback is real. The advisors who separate themselves won't be the ones who researched the most. They'll be the ones who moved, adjusted, and kept learning while others were still preparing.

JOHN 15:1-10 - ABIDE IN ME - BRIAN SUMNER - 2025JOHN 15:1-10 "I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. 2 Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit. 3 You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you. 4 Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me.5 “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. 6 If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned. 7 If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you. 8 By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples.9 “As the Father loved Me, I also have loved you; abide in My love. 10 If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father's commandments and abide in His love."To support this channel and partner with Brian in Ministryhttps://www.briansumner.net/support/For more on Brianhttp://www.briansumner.nethttps://www.instagram.com/BRIANSUMNER/https://www.facebook.com/BRIANSUMNEROFFICIALTo listen to Brians Podcast, click below.https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...Purchase Brians Marriage book at https://www.amazon.com/Never-Fails-Da...Brian is a full time "Urban Missionary" both locally and internationally with a focus on MISSIONS - MARRIAGES - MINISTRY. Since coming to faith in 2004 doors continued opening locally and internationally to do more and more ministry with a focus on Evangelism, Outreach Missions, Marriage, Counsel, Schools, Festivals, Conferences and the like.  Everything about this ministry is made possible because of people personally partnering through the non profit. God Bless and thank you. †Support the showSUPPORT THE SHOW

Recorded at the Biblical Counseling Coalition Global Summit, Michael interviews New Zealanders Darryl Burling and Jason Winslade about advancing biblical counseling and missions in New Zealand. Darryl founded the New Zealand Biblical Counseling Association (NZBCA) in 2017 and says it is being rebuilt with new board members and a renewed, context-sensitive approach rather than importing an American system. Winslade a Christchurch pastor, describes developing biblical counseling in his church, launching New Zealand's first biblical counseling center (Hope Counseling Center), and joining the NZBCA board to strengthen national reach across both islands. They explain NZBCA's virtual structure, speaker/workshop requests, volunteer opportunities, and a national counseling request process that routes people to certified counselors or seasoned pastors. They announce two 2027 conferences: March in Christchurch with Jim Fain and September in Auckland with Stuart Scott, emphasizing equipping local churches to reclaim soul care and use counseling evangelistically.00:00 Welcome and Setup00:58 Meet Darrell and Jason03:39 NZBCA Vision and Context05:43 Nationwide Structure and Travel07:24 Request Speakers and Workshops09:09 Conferences and Guest Speakers11:26 Volunteering and Church Support13:14 Counseling Requests and Local Hubs16:20 Why Counseling Belongs in Church18:46 Final Thanks and Next StepsEpisode MentionsNZBCA Hope Counseling Center 

Brian Menace from the UK reveals how his team pioneered knife detection dogs—a capability that sounds impossible but is backed by solid science. Working with Dr. Tatum and researchers, they discovered that edged weapons create a unique chemical signature when in contact with human skin, distinctly different from keys, coins, or other metal objects.The training evolved from "Wild West" experimentation to scientific methodology: dogs are imprinted on the specific chemical reaction between humans and sharpened metal, then taught to discriminate against non-target items through massive exposure to various metals. Like AI, more data inputs create better pattern recognition—dogs learn to find razor blades, tactical knives, and kitchen knives while ignoring silverware and tools.Key Topics:The chemical science behind knife detectionWhy knives smell different than spoons or keysTraining methodology: imprinting and discriminationOperational deployment at UK events and schoolsAddressing false positives (screwdrivers, hammers)Why scientific validation matters for credibilityEducating decision-makers on new capabilitiesCollaboration with Texas Tech researchCritical for event security, venue operators, and anyone facing knife crime threats. Brian emphasizes this isn't science fiction—it's validated science requiring patient education and demonstration.Brian Menace Background: UK-based detection dog trainer, pioneer in knife detection discipline, works with scientific researchers including Dr. Tatum and Texas Tech to validate and refine methodology.https://knifedetectiondogs.co.uk/________________________________________

When done poorly, conferences tend to be a brief glimmer of fun and inspo and then fade once we get back home - we forget the details and don't implement what we learned. But when done well, with proper planning - conferences can be LIFE CHANGING! It can be a chance to meet dream mentors and find dream jobs, up level your life and learn things that put you on a whole new trajectory. All it takes is a little extra thought and effort, so today I'm sharing my top 3 game changing tips for: 1. getting trips to conferences paid for: flight, hotel, food, etc 2. how to meet up with said dream jobs and mentors 3. networking turn offs: what to do and what not to do+ miscellaneous logistical tips IG: @drconniewang, @justaquickpinch

It used to be common for churches to hold annual missions conferences. But this kind of missions focus seems to have decreased. Why is that? And how then should we think about the Great Commission?

Attending a conference is not a passive learning experience. In this episode, I walk you through the pre-work needed to show up string and build your subject matter expertise street cred using social media.  Look at attendee list especially speakers who are subject matter experts in something you want to develop- connect with them on social media Come up with one good question to ask for each session you plan to attend Make sure to follow the conference and event organization on social media and note any conference hashtags.  Decide on your own set of SME hashtags. If you see a speaker or the event positing anything about content you flagged as of interest, leave a comment saying why you can't wait to attend! Make sure you attend networking events Take a photo of the speaker or a slide they present and post a thoughtful insight about it. Use the conference and SME hashtags but also tag the host organization and the speaker Remember just choosing to attend the event call you out as someone associated with the issues represented by the conference  ACCESS THE CONFERENCE PLAYLIST: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/18VqQmcWWNP4OdobLSeNZz?si=7NGW-l0IS5C2LMj_DOwQ2g  GET THE NETWORKING GUIDE: https://architectingpodcast.com/index.php/networking/

Is there a credible threat of Bitcoin Mining Monopolies? $ BTC 68,183 Block Height 937,649 Today's guest on the show is Renaud Cuny, creator of the Bitcoin Analytics Dashboard 'The Bitcoin Portal' and writer of the Block Space Weekly BIP 110 series. Renaud has a 25 year background in the telecommunications industry and was inspired to develop the Bitcoin Portal because he felt there was a lack of transparency regarding the amount of non-financial data being included into Bitcoin blocks. The dashboard tracks the amount of spam data being included in blocks, which currently accounts for around 40% of used block space. Renaud also discusses his simulation of BIP110, a proposal that aims to limit spam on the Bitcoin network and shares his findings.

That mattress you've had for 8 years? It might be aging you. Derek Hales from Nap Lab shares what 500+ mattress tests reveal about support, toxins, cooling, & durability & how the wrong materials quietly wreck sleep, joints, & long-term health. Meet our guest NapLab began when founder Derek & his wife Samantha searched for an affordable mattress in 2014 & started reviewing their experiences online. What began as a hobby site called Sleepopolis quickly grew into a full testing operation, expanding from a one-bedroom apartment into a dedicated review facility. Derek & his team have now tested over 500 mattresses, helping millions make smarter purchasing decisions.

If you are a Christian in a dysfunctional, toxic marriage, you are desperate for Christian marriage advice. When you see marriage books or conferences by Christian authors and speakers, you are willing to buy the books and attend the conferences. You try to apply their ideas, even if your spouse isn't.   There is only one problem: not everyone who offers you advice understands what you are going through. Some of their ideas can make your situation worse. You even have to be careful when you seek out Christian counseling.  So if you have more than a few minor marriage problems, you are struggling with addiction, abuse, affairs, narcissism, manipulation, mental illness, emotional abandonment, or other complex,  dysfunctional, and toxic dynamics, be careful. Don't go to Christian marriage conferences or read Christian marriage books. Watch this video to fully understand why that is a bad idea and what you need to do instead.   #christianmarriageadvice  #dysfunctionalrelationship  #toxicrelationships  #christiancounseling #Christianmarriageconferences     Website: https://www.changemyrelationship.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ChangeMyRelationship YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@changemyrelationship Watch this video on YouTube: https://youtu.be/O3IWdojI-wc

Education marketing is getting squeezed from both sides. Buyers are moving slower and asking for more proof, while the marketing landscape is moving faster than most teams can realistically track. AI is changing how people search and evaluate credibility. Conferences are still a major growth channel, but they are expensive and hard to measure. And social platforms keep rewriting the rules midstream.In this solo “Field Notes” episode, Elana Leoni surfaces practical signals from the last few weeks across AI, conferences, K–12 funding, and social media. The throughline is focus. What matters now is less about chasing every update, and more about building a marketing system that can hold up in a noisy, high-scrutiny, high-stakes category.Link to the episode show notes.

Episode 437 of Airey Bros Radio is now LIVE on all podcast platforms — originally streamed on ABR YouTube on Feb 3, 2026.We're joined by Jim Giunta, Founder / President & Chairman of the National Collegiate Wrestling Association (NCWA) — the governing body that's helped create college wrestling opportunity for thousands of athletes across the U.S., Canada, and beyond.In this conversation, Jim breaks down what the NCWA is (and isn't), why we should call them teams/programs — not “club teams,” and how wrestlers can start a program at their school the right way (hint: it starts with students, not coaches walking into the AD's office).We also get into NCWA Nationals (massive brackets + big-show atmosphere), transition teams (schools moving divisions who compete through the NCWA), the rise of women's collegiate wrestling (folkstyle + freestyle), and Jim's newest project — the National Collegiate Grappling Association (NCGA/NCGAA) with rules designed to reward real takedowns and action.Powered by Black Sheep Endurance Coaching / ☕ Value-for-value: BuyMeACoffee.com/AireyBrosTime-Stamped Show Notes (Episode 437)0:00 ABR mission: spotlighting opportunities beyond the “Power 4”0:40 Show open + intro: Jim Giunta joins (NCWA Founder/President)1:58 Jim's background + NCWA growth overview (teams, athletes, alumni)3:05 Why the NCWA matters: real opportunity for wrestlers who aren't D1 roster locks3:55 Jim's origin story: Pennsylvania to Texas A&M — “we ain't got no wrestling here”5:58 Starting wrestling in Texas: early club roots + building infrastructure6:39 Why Jim founded the NCWA (late 90s) and how it started with 13 teams8:34 Teams/programs vs “club wrestling” — why language matters9:09 The Apprentice School example + athletic-department funded programs10:02 NCWA as a wrestling-only governing body (not distracted by other sports)11:20 NCWA “D1 vs D2” structure + what “emerging programs” means12:24 “Orphan alumni” and rebuilding programs at schools that dropped wrestling14:04 Want wrestling at your school?

The short-term rental industry is shifting fast — and if you're not paying attention, you'll get left behind. In this episode, I'm breaking down the six biggest takeaways from the IMN Conference, where top operators managing hundreds of properties reveal what's really happening behind the scenes. From venture capital moves to AI breakthroughs, here's what you need to know before 2026. 5 Key Takeaways: Venture capital is quietly buying 100–200 unit property managers and reshaping the industry. Luxury rentals are outperforming commodity listings as investors chase higher returns. 80% of guest experience depends on processes — and poor systems lead to bad reviews. AI is transforming guest communication and operations — but no single tool does it all. Design matters more than ever: invest in your top 5 photos, prioritize comfort, and create visual impact. The STR market is evolving quickly — and the operators who adapt will win. Whether it's refining your processes, leveraging AI, or repositioning toward luxury, now is the time to level up.

Derek Ramirez, the first ESD (Electronic Storage Device) K9 handler in his large Southern California agency, breaks down why electronic detection is the most challenging discipline in K9 work. Despite working in a major metro area with high demand, Derek's biggest hurdle wasn't finding work—it was educating decision-makers about what ESD dogs can do.Unlike narcotics or explosives with consistent target odors, electronic devices present massive challenges: thousands of manufacturers, constantly evolving technology, and micro-level odor signatures from SD cards and circuit components. Derek explains why handlers must become experts at reading subtle behavioral changes, why "interest" often matters more than full alerts, and how missing a hidden device can mean lost evidence in child exploitation cases.Key Topics:Why the nonprofit model creates handler limitationsESD vs. narcotics detection: fundamental differencesGeneralization training across device types and manufacturersReading dogs in low-odor scenariosWhy double-blind testing is essential for ESD teamsSearch methodology: how hiding spots affect successBuilding an ESD program from 5 to 16 dogsEssential for anyone considering ESD capabilities for event security, corporate environments, or law enforcement applications where electronic device detection matters.Derek Ramirez Background: First ESD K9 handler in major SoCal agency, built program from ground up, now manages growing unit of 16 dogs, works both ESD and narcotics detection.________________________________________
