    What’s Love Got To Do With It?

    This is an oldie but a goodie. Wise exhibiting always stays in style. I began my career with Skyline in 1995 as an “Inside” Sales Consultant. In 1995 Pre-At-Post show promotion was not part of my daily lingo, nor my clients’. The industry was not that sophisticated yet. It was not until I attended The…

    Time to look up

    For the first time in my adult life, I am jobless, partnerless, and childless – at the same time. “Unusually new” is a phrase to describe my current situation. Since my joblessness began (September), I have stayed busy assisting Spencer with applying to college and ultimately helping him settle in. Now he’s there, and I…

    Call a what?

    It had to be 2016 or so… I flew to Chicago for a presentation at TradeTec for a new exhibit build. In the morning, I was getting ready to head over as I had done many times, but I could not get a cab; there were none. The hotel tried for me as well. But…

    It’s Thanksgiving, and I was booted from my Tribe!!

    For the past 27 years, I have always looked forward to sending cards, and gifts, reviewing the past year’s successes, and planning for the upcoming with my clients. The best part was that as the years went by and I became known for my relationship-building skills – it was more like chatting with friends and…

    How I got here

    It is exciting for me to step into my uncomfortable place with the launch of my blog: They call me VC. I wish I had a nickel for every time I introduced myself and said …” Hi, I’m Victoria Conti, but they call me VC. Who the hell are they?? (haha) Well, “they” are pretty…
