Brian B Speaking and DJ’ing at Midwest DJs Live 10
Late last year I received a call from Mitch Taylor who heads up the education content at Midwest DJs Live. He asked if I would be interested in speaking at DJ’ing at Midwest DJs Live 10 being held in Milwaukee, WI on April 30 – May 1. I hadn’t actually ever been to the show personally due to scheduling conflicts but it was on my to do list. I, of course, said absolutely! This is one of those intimate regional shows but I gotta tell you, the value attendees are going to be getting is off the charts. Have you seen the lineup of incredible speakers? I was honored to be asked to open the show…day 2, that is. You probably won’t get the inside joke on this unless you see Mike Walter’s video on his Facebook page. Add to it that myself and Maria Matarelli will be spinning at the opening night party. Don’t miss this. Tickets are still available. Get yours now.
