From the recent re-opening of a particularly scenic stretch of Highway 1 to new hotel developments, major sporting events, news from Pebble Beach and two marketing initiatives from his DMO, Meetings Today checks in with See Monterey President & CEO Rob O'Keefe to get the skinny on the latest meetings, attractions and hotel haps in California's Monterey County.
Venues don't gamble with their space—or their reputation. In this episode, Krisy Thomas, Senior Educator of the CWP Society, is joined by Nikki Rodgers, Master Certified Wedding Planner and Certified Educator, and Aisha Garnett, Master Certified Wedding Planner and Certified Educator, for a candid conversation about why certification instantly changes how venues perceive and trust wedding planners.We break down why certification instantly changes the way managers read your emails, respond to your calls, and welcome you on site, and how that shift gets you onto preferred lists faster. With master certified planners Nikki Rogers and Aisha Garnett, we dig into the signals that matter most to venues: realistic timelines, airtight communication, contract fluency, and calm, quiet problem solving when the inevitable curveballs hit. Across candid stories and practical tactics, we map the journey from “optional add-on” to “essential partner.” You'll hear how to make your first contact count, the questions that prove you've done your homework, and the small behaviors—respecting policies, confirming logistics early, sharing clean run-of-show updates—that build trust long before event day. We also explore why staying current on tools like 3D floor plans and collaborative timeline software isn't just modern—it's a competitive advantage that lightens venue workloads and elevates guest experience. If you want steady referrals, faster access to preferred vendor lists, and invitations to styled shoots and venue-led events, this conversation shows the path: pair formal certification with consistent, predictable execution.

SOCCER STADIUMS AS PROTEST VENUES AND THE ETHNIC FACTOR Colleague Brenda Shaffer. Shafferdescribes how soccer stadiums, particularly for the Azerbaijani team "Tractor," have become venues for ethnic and anti-regime protest. She notes the regime's brutal crackdown on athletes supporting the movement. Shaffer observes a shift in the opposition from seeking reform to demanding total regime change. She predicts the ethnic factor will be decisive in the Islamic Republic's potential collapse, warning that a transition to a Persian-nationalist military dictatorship would further alienate minority populations.

In this episode of Kliq This, Kevin Nash and Sean Oliver stumble into a story that starts as a routine travel headache and spirals into something far stranger. A delayed flight, a single social media post, and a phone call that should never have happened collide in a way that leaves Kevin asking a very real question about lines being crossed and consequences that might follow. What begins as frustration turns unsettling when Kevin realizes the situation is not just bad service, but something more personal and far more inappropriate. The reaction to that realization is raw, immediate, and very Kevin Nash. The discussion pulls listeners into the moment where confusion turns into anger and disbelief. From there, the conversation widens into accountability, corporate responsibility, and how much power an individual actually has when a system closes ranks. Kevin weighs his options out loud, balancing principle against exhaustion, and wondering how far someone should really push back. The episode does not stay in one lane for long. As always, the show drifts into wrestling, media, and cultural commentary, with Kevin offering unfiltered opinions that challenge accepted narratives and question who really controls the stories fans are told. By the time the episode ends, the title feels less rhetorical than it first appears. The audience is left with the same question Kevin is wrestling with, and the uneasy sense that the answer is not as simple as it should be.

On a wintry weekend with temperatures hovering just above freezing, an indoor ski dome in the eastern Chinese city of Wuxi, Jiangsu province, buzzed with the sound of beginners shrieking their way down the slopes, many of whom had never touched a pair of skis before.在一个气温徘徊在零上几度的寒冬周末,位于中国东部江苏省无锡市的一座室内滑雪馆里,初学者的尖叫声此起彼伏。许多人滑下雪坡时都尖叫连连,其中不少人还是第一次接触滑雪板。"It's my first try," said local resident Wang Yue, still brushing off snow after a fall. "But I've already picked up the basics. I'm determined to become a cool, skilled skier this winter."“这是我第一次尝试,”当地居民王悦(音译)说着,仍在拍打身上的积雪,刚摔了一跤,“但我已经掌握了基本技巧。这个冬天,我决心成为一名酷炫又技术娴熟的滑雪者。”The Wuxi facility, mid-sized by regional standards, draws nearly half a million visits a year and generates more than 180 million yuan ($25.5 million) in sports-related spending. It is one example of how regions without natural snowfall are cashing in as China's winter sports season gains momentum.无锡滑雪场按地区标准属于中型规模,每年接待游客近50万人次,创造逾1.8亿元人民币(合2550万美元)的体育相关消费。随着中国冬季运动热潮兴起,该滑雪场成为无天然降雪地区借势盈利的典型案例。As temperatures drop, more regions are turning ice and snow into economic activity. According to an official industry report, China's ice-and-snow sector is expected to surpass 1 trillion yuan this year.随着气温下降,越来越多的地区正将冰雪转化为经济活动。根据官方行业报告,中国冰雪产业规模今年有望突破1万亿元。Sports boom体育热潮Northern China, where winter arrives early and lasts long, remains the country's primary arena for winter sports. On Nov 29, the northernmost city of Mohe in Heilongjiang province welcomed its first snow-tourism charter train of the season as more than 300 travelers set out to chase ice sculptures, forest landscapes and fresh powder.中国北方地区冬季来得早、持续时间长,仍是全国冬季运动的主要舞台。11月29日,黑龙江省最北端的城市漠河迎来今冬首列冰雪旅游专列,300余名游客踏上追寻冰雕、森林景观和新雪的旅程。In Harbin's Yabuli, a steady stream of visitors has arrived since the ski resort opened its slopes on Nov 7. "We now receive more than 2,000 visitors a day, up 12 percent from last year," said Yang Xiaodong of Yabuli's culture and tourism department.自11月7日哈尔滨亚布力滑雪场开放雪道以来,游客络绎不绝。亚布力管委会文旅处负责人杨晓冬表示:“目前日均接待游客超过2000人次,较去年同期增长12%。”As a competition venue for this year's Asian Winter Games, Yabuli plans to stage more than 30 professional events and public activities during the new snow season. It will also addacrobatic shows and other entertainment to enrich visitor experiences.作为今年亚洲冬季运动会的比赛场地,亚布力计划在新雪季期间举办30余场专业赛事和公众活动,还将新增杂技表演等娱乐项目,丰富游客体验。Data from travel platform Trip.com showed that from November to February, bookings for ice-and-snow attractions are expected to jump around 70 percent year-on-year, with inbound tour reservations rising by about half. Ski resort ticket bookings have surged more than twofold since early November.旅游平台携程数据显示,11月至次年2月期间,冰雪旅游产品预订量预计同比增长约70%,入境旅游产品预订量增长约50%。自11月初以来,滑雪场门票预订量已激增逾两倍。Such sports fever is not limited to snowfields. Across stadiums, courts and parks in cities and villages, sports are increasingly being linked with travel, food and shopping in ways that are supporting domestic demand.这种体育热潮不仅限于雪场。在城乡各体育场馆、球场和公园里,体育活动正日益与旅游、餐饮和购物相结合,从而支撑着国民需求。Few stories illustrate this better than Jiangsu's grassroots football sensation, the Su Super League. What began as a provincial competition this year exploded into a national phenomenon, with 85 matches, 2.43 million in-personspectators, average attendance nearing 30,000 and 2.2 billion online views.没有什么故事比江苏草根足球的奇迹——苏超联赛更能说明这一点了。这项今年刚起步的省级赛事,已迅速发展成为全国性的现象:共举办85场比赛,吸引243万现场观众,场均上座率接近3万人次,线上观看量达22亿次。To create a stadium atmosphere for fans unable to secure tickets, organizers set up 573 fan zones across the province, each with giant screens, food stalls, retail booths and late-night entertainment.为让未能购得门票的球迷也能感受现场氛围,主办方在全省设立了573个球迷区,每个区域都配备巨型屏幕、小吃摊、零售摊位及深夜娱乐活动。"Every one yuan spent on a ticket drove 7.3 yuan in additional consumption," said Wu Haiyun, a provincial commerce official, adding that the league brought more than 38 billion yuan in related spending.江苏省商务厅副厅长吴海云表示:“每消费1元购票款,就能带动7.3元的额外消费。”他补充表示联赛带动了超过380亿元的相关消费。Sports-led travel has become one of China's social trends. During the 15th National Games held across the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area in November, Guangzhou launched 50 sightseeing routes linking venues and city landmarks, alongside more than 2,000 cultural events.体育旅游已成为中国社会潮流之一。11月在粤港澳大湾区举行的第十五届全国运动会期间,广州推出了50条串联赛场与城市地标的观光路线,并举办了2000余场文化活动。Data from Douyin, the Chinese version of TikTok, showed that during the Games, hotel spending in Guangzhou rose 114.5 percent year-on-year, while leisure and entertainment consumption climbed more than 134 percent. Sales of Games-themed merchandise are expected to reach 1 billion yuan.抖音数据显示,全运会期间广州酒店消费同比增长114.5%,休闲娱乐消费增幅超过134%。全运会主题商品销售额预计将达10亿元。Shanghai delivered a similar surge during its National Day holiday sports calendar. Six major events, including the 2025 Shanghai Masters and the World Rowing Championships, drew more than 800,000 spectators. Luxury hotels hit near-full capacity, and sales in key commercial districts rose 42 percent year-on-year.国庆假期期间,上海的体育赛事同样掀起热潮。包括2025年上海大师赛和世界赛艇锦标赛在内的六项重大赛事,共吸引逾80万观众到场观赛。豪华酒店入住率逼近满额,核心商业区销售额同比增长42%。Beijing, hosting the 2025 China Open and WTT China Smash, also saw unprecedented crowds. The tennis tournament alone drew 360,000 spectators, generating record ticket revenue and brisk sales of licensed merchandise.北京作为2025年中国网球公开赛和WTT中国网球公开赛的举办地,也迎来了空前的观众规模。仅网球赛事就吸引了36万名观众,创下门票收入纪录,并带动了授权商品的热销。Growth engine增长引擎"Sports events, culture and tourism have formed a new ecosystem," said Si Zengchuo, a professor at Jiangsu Normal University. "This integrated model—combining sightseeing, shopping and event experiences—is now spreading nationwide."江苏师范大学教授司增绰(音译)指出:“体育赛事、文化与旅游已形成新的生态系统。这种集观光、购物与赛事体验于一体的融合模式,正在全国范围内推广。”The rise in sports spending aligns with a broader push to upgrade the consumer economy. According to China's latest blueprint, the total output of the sports industry will exceed 7 trillion yuan by 2030, driven by event-related spending and the fusion of sports, culture and tourism.体育消费的增长与推动消费经济升级的整体趋势相契合。根据中国最新规划,到2030年,体育产业总产值将突破7万亿元,其增长动力主要来自赛事相关消费以及体育、文化和旅游产业的融合发展。To accelerate that momentum, Jiangsu has announced plans to expand event-related consumption scenarios, turning stadiums, sports parks and outdoor campsites into immersive commercial hubs.为加速这一势头,江苏宣布计划拓展赛事相关消费场景,将体育场馆、运动公园和户外营地打造成沉浸式商业中心。Local authorities are encouraging the rollout of sportsvouchers, spending rebates and discount programs. Integrated packages bundling tickets, transport, hotels, dining and cultural attractions are being explored across the province.地方政府正积极推广体育活动代金券、消费返现及折扣计划。全省范围内正探索推出整合套票方案,涵盖门票、交通、酒店、餐饮及文化景点等项目。The eastern manufacturing hub also aims to boost its sports equipment sector by building industrial clusters with annual output of more than 3 billion yuan each, focusing on outdoor gear, fitness facilities and materials for sports venues.江苏省这一东部制造业中心还计划通过建设年产值均超过30亿元的产业集群,重点发展户外装备、健身器材和体育场馆材料,以推动其体育器材产业的升级。To spur winter consumption, several northern regions have introduced "snow break", encouraging schools and families to embrace winter sports programs. Ski resorts are offering winter camps, cultural workshops and discounted family packages.为提振冬季消费,北方多个地区推出“雪假”政策,鼓励学校和家庭参与冬季运动项目。滑雪场纷纷推出冬季营地、文化工作坊及家庭优惠套餐。Transport authorities, meanwhile, are adding seasonal trains and flights to meet travel demand. Some railway lines now allow passengers to carry ski equipment on board and offer designated storage space.与此同时,交通部门正增开季节性列车和航班以满足出行需求。部分铁路线路现允许乘客携带滑雪装备上车,并提供专用存放空间。Experts say such measures are turning sports into a driver of economic vitality. According to China's General Administration of Sport, the country's sports industry has grown at an average annual rate of more than 10 percent over the past five years.专家指出,这些举措正推动体育成为经济活力的引擎。据中国国家体育总局统计,过去五年间,我国体育产业年均增速超过10%。Expanded facilities have also boosted participation. By the end of 2024, China boasted 4.84 million sports venues, averaging 3 square meters of sports area per person. The number of ski resorts alone had jumped 136 percent since 2018, rising from 1,133 to 2,678.设施扩建也推动了参与度提升。截至2024年底,中国拥有484万处体育场馆,人均体育场地面积达3平方米。仅滑雪场数量就较2018年激增136%,从1133个增至2678个。"Venues are the foundation, but the real shift happens beyond the arena," said Ding Xiang, an associate professor at Nanjing University. "People are finding emotional connection and even cultural identity through sports in a city, and that's where the long-term economic value lies."南京大学副教授丁翔指出:“场馆是基础,但真正的转变发生在场馆之外。人们通过城市体育活动建立情感纽带,甚至形成文化认同,这才是长远经济价值所在。”spectatorsn./spekˈteɪ.t̬ɚ/(尤指)现场观众vouchern./ˈvaʊ.tʃɚ/代金券acrobaticadj./ˌæk.rəˈbæt̬.ɪk/杂技的

SHOW 12-12-2025 THE SHOW BEGINS IN DOUBTS ABOUT 2026.2 Las Vegas Venues, California Rail, and Disney's AI Investment: Colleague Jeff Bliss reports that Las Vegas's Allegiant Stadium is now a top-grossing venue while many resorts are dropping unpopular fees, discussing California's new rail line to Anaheim, mismanagement of the Pacific Palisades fire, and high gas prices, additionally covering Disney's investment in OpenAI and its new luxury community, Cotino. Nvidia's Jensen Huang and the AI Revolution: Colleague Brandon Weichert praises Nvidia's Jensen Huang as a pivotal geopolitical figure driving the AI revolution, comparing AI's growth to the railroad boom and predicting long-term economic benefits and massive opportunities for construction and energy sectors as the US builds infrastructure to support data centers. Business Resilience and AI Tools in Construction: Colleague Gene Marks reports on business resilience in Austin despite tariff concerns and describes a safety conference in Fargo where AI tools were a focus, explaining that AI and robotics like Boston Dynamics' Spot are supplementing rather than replacing workers in construction, helping address severe labor shortages. Health Reimbursement Arrangements and AI's Economic Potential: Colleague Gene Marks advocates for Health Reimbursement Arrangements, noting they allow small businesses to control costs while employees buy their own insurance tax-free, also discussing AI's potential to double economic growth and advising businesses to ignore doomsday predictions and embrace tools that enhance productivity and daily life. Lancaster County's Economic Divide and Holiday Retail: Colleague Jim McTague reports from Lancaster County, highlighting the economic divide between flush Baby Boomers and struggling younger generations, observing strong holiday retail activity exemplified by crowded venues like Shady Maple and a proliferation of Amazon delivery trucks, suggesting the economy remains afloat despite challenges. La Scala's Season Opening and Milan's Christmas Atmosphere: Colleague Lorenzo Fiori describes attending the season opening at La Scala, featuring a dramatic Russian opera that audiences connected to current geopolitical tensions, also noting the festive Christmas atmosphere in Milan and Prime Minister Meloni's continued, albeit non-military, support for Ukraine. SpaceX IPO Rumors and EU Space Regulations: Colleague Bob Zimmerman discusses rumors of a SpaceX IPO and new scientific strategies for using Starship for Mars exploration, reporting on the Pentagon's certification requirements for Blue Origin's New Glenn and critiquing proposed EU space laws that could impose bureaucratic hurdles on international private space companies. Mapping the Sun's Corona and Rethinking Ice Giants: Colleague Bob Zimmerman details scientific advances including mapping the sun's corona and rethinking Uranus and Neptune as having rocky interiors rather than just ice, mentioning discoveries regarding supernova composition, the lack of supermassive black holes in small galaxies, and new images of Mars' polar ice layers. "The Incident" of 1641 and Charles I's Failed Plot: Colleague Jonathan Healey narrates "The Incident" of 1641, a failed plot by Charles I to arrest Scottish Covenanter leaders, explaining that the conspiracy's exposure and Charles's subsequent denial destroyed his political standing in Scotland, forcing him to concede power to the Scottish Parliament and weakening his position before the English Civil War. The Prelude to the English Civil War: Colleague Jonathan Healey discusses the prelude to the English Civil War, detailing the power struggles between Charles I and the Commons and Lords, explaining the execution of the King's advisor Strafford, noting Charles's regret and the rising influence of reformists who feared royal tyranny and supported impeachment. The Junto and Puritan Influence in Parliament: Colleague Jonathan Healey describes the political geography of London, introducing the "Junto," a reformist party coordinating between Parliament's houses, analyzing the influence of Puritans and key opposition figures like John Pym and Mandeville who strategically challenged Charles I's authority regarding church reform and arbitrary taxation. The Grand Remonstrance and Popular Politics: Colleague Jonathan Healey explains the "Grand Remonstrance," a document used by the Junto to rally public support against the King, highlighting how rising literacy and the printing press fueled popular politics in London, while also discussing Queen Henrietta Maria's political acumen and Catholic faith amidst the growing conflict. Critiquing Isolationism and the Risks of Disengagement: Colleague Henry Sokolski critiques isolationist arguments, comparing current sentiments to pre-WWII attitudes, warning against relying solely on missile defense bubbles and discussing the distinct threats posed by Russia and China, emphasizing that US disengagement could lead to global instability and unchecked nuclear proliferation. Saudi Uranium Enrichment and Proliferation Risks: Colleague Henry Sokolski discusses the risks of allowing Saudi Arabia to enrich uranium, fearing it creates a bomb-making option, warning that making exceptions for Saudi Arabia could trigger a proliferation cascade among neighbors like Turkey and Egypt, undermining global non-proliferation efforts amidst rising tensions involving Russia and NATO. The Historical Context of Humphrey's Executor: Colleague Richard Epstein analyzes the historical context of Humphrey's Executor, explaining how the administrative state grew from the 1930s, detailing FDR's attempt to politicize independent commissions and the Supreme Court's justification, arguing that while constitutionally questionable, long-standing prescription has solidified these agencies' legal status over time. Presidential Power and Independent Agency Dismissals: Colleague Richard Epstein discusses current Supreme Court arguments regarding presidential power to fire independent board members, referencing actions by both Trump and Biden, critiquing the politicization of agencies like the FTC under Lina Khan and warning that unchecked executive authority to dismiss advisory boards undermines necessary checks and balances.
Las Vegas Venues, California Rail, and Disney's AI Investment: Colleague Jeff Bliss reports that Las Vegas's Allegiant Stadium is now a top-grossing venue while many resorts are dropping unpopular fees, discussing California's new rail line to Anaheim, mismanagement of the Pacific Palisades fire, and high gas prices, additionally covering Disney's investment in OpenAI and its new luxury community, Cotino. 1958

PREVIEW Jeff Bliss discusses using air cabs to alleviate traffic in Los Angeles, especially during the Olympics, noting that ground travel to venues currently takes over an hour. While air cabs offer a quick trip, traffic has worsened significantly since 1984. This expensive solution, available to those who can afford it, will only make a small dent in the overall traffic issue. Guest: Jeff Bliss.

In this episode of The Solo Musician Podcast, host Dave Gates takes you behind the scenes of his first-ever trip to New York's beautiful Finger Lakes region — a two-day, boots-on-the-ground mission to scout potential venues for his 2026 tour. With a HUGE shoutout to his friend John, Dave recounts the experience, the lakeside drives, and the 45 venues he visited around Keuka and Seneca Lakes — all part of the grind of booking gigs as an independent artist. You'll hear how Dave approached each venue like a pro: walking in with confidence, starting genuine conversations, dropping a card (and sometimes a tip), and keeping notes in the parking lot after each stop. He shares his honest reflections on nerves, persistence, and people skills, plus key takeaways on what worked, what didn't, and why the “don't be annoying” mindset might just be your best business strategy. Stick around for bonus tips — including Dave's Facebook group hack for finding venues in new regions — and get inspired to take your own music hustle on the road. Perfect for: Independent musicians, DIY bookers, and anyone curious what it really takes to get gigs when you're a one-person operation.

Welcome to the second episode in our mini-series on the alternative asset market.Gennaro Leo is a sports executive and the co-founder of Austin Sports Ventures, a firm that partners with venture capital and private equity firms to invest in and operate assets across professional sports leagues, teams, and high-growth technology startups.In this episode of Tuesdays with Morrisey, we discuss how sports ownership is changing and growing into a sophisticated asset class that combines real estate, technology, media and entertainment.Top Takeaways1. Sports ownership has evolved from a passion-driven pursuit into an institutional asset class. What began with local owners now attracts private equity and global investors seeking stable, outperforming returns.2. Media and entertainment continue at the center of sports. Many consider sports to be the last frontier of live entertainment, and the emergence of deals like Amazon's Thursday Night Football, shows like Netflix's Drive to Survive, and the popularity of TikTok sensation Savannah Bananas show the convergence of modern media and sports. This was a central theme in our 2024 episode with Ari Temkin, “Why Live Sports Dominate Streaming and Audio Is Thriving”.3. Stadiums and sports-related real estate development serve as community anchors, hosting concerts, graduations, and local events nearly every day of the year. Venues like SoFi Stadium and The Star in Dallas showcase how sports infrastructure fuels real estate and community growth.4. Italian soccer has become a case study in global sports ownership, with American investors now owning more than half of Serie A clubs. Gennaro's experience at AS Roma and Hellas Verona highlights the need for process, discipline, and respect for tradition when foreign owners enter a league.5. As ownership and media distribution models continue to evolve, opportunities open up for players, fans, and investors. We're seeing athlete-led venture funds to architecturally significant mixed-use developments, and increasingly, the convergence of sports with media, tech, and real estate.Full List of Topics CoveredGennaro's career spanning tech, media, real estate and sports ownershipThe evolution of stadiums as community and economic hubsU.S. investment in European football and its impactHow media innovation drives sports growthThe intersection of sports, tech, and real estateBuilding sustainable value in a global sports ecosystemThe future of the player and fan experience, and ownership modelsGennaro Leo is an accomplished operator and investor with expertise spanning venture capital, private equity, sports management, and technology commercialization. He co-founded Austin Sports Ventures, partnering with Next Coast Ventures and Presidio Investors to manage and invest in professional sports assets and high-growth companies, including leading the acquisition and commercial strategy for Hellas Verona FC. Previously, he held senior roles at CAA ICON and A.S. Roma, overseeing major stadium and venue projects, and earlier in his career, he helped commercialize over 100 NSF-backed startups through the Innovation Accelerator & National Innovation Fund.
In this episode of Seeing Them Live, Charles and Doug welcome back Andy, a school teacher and avid live music fan, to share his an After Show Report on the 2025 Bonnaroo Music Festival. Despite carefully planning his trip with his friend Teddy and driving nine hours to the festival, Andy faced a series of unexpected challenges and adventures. The trip kicks off with a tense interaction with law enforcement when they are pulled over by a Kentucky State Trooper, escalating as a K-9 unit arrives. Fortunately, they are allowed to proceed to Bonnaroo without any legal troubles.Upon arrival, Andy and Teddy set up their elaborate campsite, which included modern amenities like a solar generator and 42-inch TV. The first night involved acclimatizing to the youthful crowd and loud electronic dance music that played until the early hours. Things took a dramatic turn when Teddy experienced a sudden medical emergency and had to leave, promising to return later to pick Andy up. Later, a severe storm brought torrential rains and flooding, leading to the cancellation of the entire festival due to infrastructural failure. Despite disappointment, Andy encountered numerous acts of kindness from fellow festival-goers and eventually managed to get back home safely, albeit with a vivid, unforgettable experience.BANDS: Dogs in a Pile, Eurythmics, Foster the People, Goose, Insane Clown Posse, King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, Lemon Twigs, Luke Combs, Marcus King, Miranda Lambert, Parisi.VENUES: 2025 Bonnaroo Music Festival.
