Today is the day that most people hope to have a little \u201cLuck of the Irish\u201d on their side \u2013 as we celebrate St. Patrick\u2019s Day. And so, it\u2019s fitting the Product Collective team will be flying to Dublin, Ireland. We\u2019ll actually land in Dublin on Saturday, so there aren\u2019t any festive celebrations planned. But we\u2019re excited to be there to put on the\u00a0European edition of INDUSTRY: The Product Conference<\/a>\u00a0in Dublin next week.<\/p>\n

As I get ready to head to the airport, I\u2019m reminded of the very\u00a0last<\/em>\u00a0time I was in Ireland \u2013 as we put on INDUSTRY Europe on March 9-11, 2020. As you can imagine, our stress levels were on overdrive and we weren\u2019t even sure if we\u2019d be able to put on the show that we worked so hard to organize. It turns out that we were able to, but just barely. Minutes after our conference ended, the government in Ireland banned all mass events. The same thing happened nearly everywhere else in the world.<\/p>\n

Thankfully, things are much different today. I\u2019m feeling some anxiety, but it\u2019s the normal kind of anxiety that I always get before we put on our conferences. I just want to make sure that everybody has an amazing experience.<\/p>\n

So on this St. Patrick\u2019s Day, I\u2019m hoping that I can get some of that \u201cLuck of the Irish\u201d to make sure that all goes smoothly next week. If you get any extra luck today, please pass some my way. I promise to return the favor any time you need. Deal?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
