<h1>WeWed &#8211; A Gathering of the Best Wedding Professionals</h1>

<p>Founder and event organizer <a href="http://www.kellymcwilliams.com">Kelly McWilliams</a> describes it this way: &#8220;WeWed gatherings are for those who want to continue to build their business and/or become a better business person.  It&#8217;s about getting motivated, learning how to improve, discussing what our industry is, where its going, and how to stay on top (or get back up there).&#8221;<br />
</br><br />
When Kelly offered the first <a href="http://www.aflairforaffairs.com/blog/2009/02/24/orlando-planners-travel-to-attend-kelly-mcwilliams-we-wed-brunch-event/">WeWed Brunch</a> at the award-winning <a href="http://www.miromarlakes.com" target="_blank">Miromar Lakes Beach &amp; Golf Club</a> I knew I must attend!  It was such a fun and educational experience that I cleared my calendar to attend the second event at <a href="http://www.naplesbeachhotel.com" target="_blank">The Naples Beach Hotel &amp; Golf Club</a>.  This year, I was honored to be asked to speak at WeWed Summer 2010 which was hosted by the new and uniquely luxurious <a href="http://www.marinavillageresort.com" target="_blank">Resort at Marina Village</a>.  Not to mention that I was in the incredible company of <strong>Saundra Hadley</strong>, <strong>Jeannine Kennedy</strong> and <strong>Kelly McWilliams</strong> (of course).  </p>
<p>My presentation centered on <strong>Time Management</strong> techniques and strategies.  I basically discussed that there are many options available to us, but the important thing is to find the system or method &#8220;that works best for you&#8221;.  Sometimes a combination of techniques works the best.  It&#8217;s all about trying new things and taking the time to evaluate what&#8217;s working and what&#8217;s not.          </p>

<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1232" title="Time Management Cafe" src="http://www.aflairforaffairs.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/TimeMgmtCafe-400x300.jpg" alt="Time Management Cafe" width="300" height="225" /><em>Left: Opening powerpoint slide</em></p>
<p>I was thrilled that I also got to enjoy the other speaker&#8217;s presentations, and I met so many wonderful people.  I returned to Orlando feeling very motivated!     </p>

<p>Today started at 4 am, as I prepared for the long ride to South West Florida for the <strong>We Wed Brunch</strong>. (Thank goodness for the company of Kerline Docteur!)</p>

<p>We arrived at the most impressive(!) Miromar Lakes Beach Club at 9 am and were very excited by the great turnout. For Kerline and me this was a fabulous opportunity to exchange ideas with a whole new group of wedding professionals, and personally meet Kelly McWilliams (<a href="http://weddingsbysocialites,com/">Weddings By Socialites</a>), a well respected colleague. Kelly&#8217;s knowledge of <strong>social media</strong> marketing and <strong>networking</strong> was truly impressive; not only did she share her own remarkable stories and experiences about with us, she did an outstanding job of coaching us to better utilize blogging and micro blogging services to enhance our professional network.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m so glad I made the trip because it was an absolutely wonderful day!  I&#8217;m looking forward to connecting with Kelly and all my new SWFL friends at the cutting edge of SMM!</p>
