Today is the first day of workshops at the Bead&Button Show, which features seven days of immersion in jewelry-making, shopping, and socializing!  It's the best and biggest bead show in the world, and I'm thrilled to be a part of it.  I wish we could take credit for the show here at Bead&Button magazine, but we really can't.  You would be amazed if you could see all the work that our Events Marketing team here at Kalmbach Publishing Co. does for the show.  Marlene Vail, Kristin Jastroch,  Linda Kollatz, and Joel Wingelman put it all together for the show, even while the show gets bigger each year. 

What really stands out for me is the fantastic customer service that Marlene's team provides!  Everyone on the team always treats us like royalty, even on the most hectic days.  I've heard so often from show attendees, teachers, and exhibitors that these folks are the gems of the ocean, and I can tell you honestly that it's true even behind the scenes.  So when you page through the show program, keep in mind that all of the learning, shopping, and social experiences, as well as the printed and audio communications and all the rest are done by Marlene's team! 

You can register for the show onsite at the Midwest Airlines Center in Milwaukee, Wis.  All of the information is available at BeadAndButtonShow.com.  See you at the show!
