Dennis, perhaps they need to start having seminars and conferences in Australia as we have here in the States. I have to tell you that the educational offerings at such events not only invigorates and inspires the attendees, but it educates them on how to run their business, how to improve their performance, how to market themselves and most importantly, how to become profitable.

The DJ Industry is running well here in my neck of the woods. Our Disc Jockey Network attracts nearly 100 professional DJ entertainers each month at our network meetings. Our neighboring Eastern Pennsylvania Mobile Entertainers Network, although in its infancy, is attracting upwards of 40 professional DJ entertainers each month at their meetings. In Connecticut, the local ADJA is flourishing, as are neighboring groups in Massachusetts and Rhode Island.

The Washington DC ADJA Chapter is enhancing the DJ market in Virginia and Maryland.


Like my good friend "Big Daddy " Sean McKee says....." POSITIVE ATTITUDE"

( Big Daddy was selected as the DJ Times and Mobile Beat DJ of The Year in 2008 )

It is all good.

Like my slogan says...."It's So Much More Than Just Music!"

2010, one of the worst economic years in more than a decade, has proven to be one of my best income years ever! My sales are up 35% over last year, and 30% over 2008. Similar reports can be heard from many of my network contemporaries.

Through networking, embracing new technology, adding services, adopting better business practices, and improving performances, the DJ Entertainment Industry is coming of age and also beginning to gain respect and acceptance as an industry.
 
trouble is you organize it here and everyone goes and hides in a corner because they all think they are way too good to have these sorts of seminars and conferences

when I first joined the WA Dj association it started out ok

but now its a bunch of guys that bitch with each other , stealing jobs from each other, generally doing sweet F all

that was 15x or so years ago

even now it hasnt changed here...

I get more info online and what I find, than 1/4 of all the djs that live here
 
A competent photographer will never worry about someone "stepping on his toes". Photo booth photos are of a completely different nature than professional wedding photos.

I heard the same concerns 2 years ago when we began offering "ZAP" photos as part of our show. Today, 60% of my wedding clients add on "ZAP" Photos. Again, totally different than Professional wedding photos.

Today's Disc Jockey Entertainer provides more services than ever before.
We find ourselves in the roles of Wedding Planner, Emcee, Entertainer, and now, in the advent of Plasma Screen Monitors, L.E.D. Intelligent Lighting, and Digital Photo & Video, we find ourselves also cast as Video Montage Producer, Lightscaping Engineer, ZAP Photo Producer, and Photo Booth Provider. Some of us even provide venue furniture and pipe & drape services!

We have matured as an industry, providing the various entertainment services today's brides demand!

Smart, ambitious DJ's will willingly grasp these new income adding opportunities to increase and expand their businesses, all offered to us because of the ever expanding entertainment options provided by the ever increasing technological advances before us!

You know what they say about a Jack Of All Trades? :triwink:
