They say good things come to those who wait. And oh, how we’d waited! Finally, after two long years, the Pro Mobile Conference returned bigger than ever, bringing together top-class keynote talks, boundless networking opportunities and a glitzy Gala Dinner to ensure the mobile DJ industry’s landmark annual event did not disappoint.

LET'S HAVE A STREET PARTY!
If there’s one thing we really like in this country, it’s a street party. They’ve historically been held to commemorate major national events like VE Day or royal occasions including weddings and Jubilees. It’s an excuse to decamp the contents of everyone’s dining room to the middle of the road and have a right good knees up.

Understanding Social Media Content
In the last issue of Pro Mobile, we went back to basics by doing a quick health check on your Facebook Business Page to make sure it’s up to date and working as a showcase for your business.Now I’d like to focus on the two main social

Getting Finance Savvy
It was great to meet so many of you at Pro Mobile Conference. Many of you were interested in finding out more about your finances, but unfortunately this is unusual for many small businesses.
The Vegas Files...
Education, education and education. These were the three priorities for a prime minister in waiting in 1996. I’m very fortunate that my parents and grandma always pushed all of us kids to seek out education and development throughout our careers. So, if there’s an opportunity to learn, I’m probably going to take it.
