Inland Empire Regional Chamber of Commerce (IERCC) Mixer and Exhibits

At the Delta Hotel, across the street from the Ontario Convention Center.

That’s Ontario, California.

Visited the SBDC and several vendors.

Oh, and it was raining.

Liar.

Modern Airport Identity Security: mDLs at TSA at ONT

Today’s acronyms are TSA, ONT, and mDL.

I finally found a legitimate use for my California mobile driver’s license (mDL) this afternoon.

Ontario International Airport (ONT) allows people without tickets to reserve a day pass to see departing passengers off. The day pass functions as the equivalent of a real passenger’s boarding pass…with appropriate identification.

Both the day pass and my mDL were in my smartphone wallet, so all went smoothly. I wasn’t paying enough attention to know if the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) compared my live face to my mDL, but they probably did.

And I can confirm that Richard Reid rule is gone: no shoe removal required. Belts are another matter.

No true pictures, just an artistic re-creation.

Graber Olives WITHOUT Arteco Partners

It all seemed to promising back in June, when Arteco Partners appeared at Graber Olives’ salesroom (converted into an auditorium) and announced its intent to partner with Graber Olives to reopen the facility for olives and events.

But yesterday David Allen revealed that Arteco Partners appears to have backed out, presumably because the costs exceeded the possible revenue.

So what’s next?

The Buca di Beppo in Claremont is Closing

The Buca di Beppo in Claremont is closing, along with a host of other locations nationwide.

I learned about this from an Utah source, which was shocked because 100% of the Buca di Beppos in Utah are closing. All two of them.

As of tonight the Claremont location remains open, and I haven’t been able to find a closure date.

Back here, other Southern California Buca di Beppo locations closing include:

Brea
Carlsbad
Claremont
Encino
Garden Grove
Huntington Beach
Pasadena
Redondo Beach
San Diego
Santa Clarita
Thousand Oaks

And So Ends July

Told you it was going to be a busy day.

Although my first of my three meetings started at 7:30 am, my day actually started three hours earlier with light Things To Accomplish. Suffice it to say that the Bredemarket blog will have daily content until Monday, August 4.

Sneak preview. Come back Monday. Imagen 4.

My first two meetings were followed by content creation (including a personal LinkedIn article on product marketing strategy) and other tasks.

I took a mid-afternoon break before my third meeting, the Inland Empire BizFest in Montclair. I wrote about that here and here, plus on the Bredemarket socials.

In fact I knew I would be so busy today that I declined a personal invite at 10 this morning. Good thing I declined, because I was neck deep in a requirements workbook (yeah, Microsoft Excel again) for a Bredemarket client’s end customer. (Can you say TOT? I knew you could.)

Anyway, I left Montclair Place before 7:30 pm and called it a night after a long day.

Thankfully the first day of August only includes a single meeting.

Which starts at 7:00 am.

Stop losing prospects! Use Bredemarket content for tech marketers

The best laid plans of wildebeests and men often go awry

But if you don’t have a chance to download the brochure or visit the “Stop losing prospects” page, I plan to be at the Main Event on Thursday.

Note that I said I PLAN to be at the Main Event. The last time I planned to be at an event (a business expo in Los Angeles), neither my client nor I made it.

So I don’t guarantee I’ll be there, but I plan to be there.

You going?

If not, here’s a video you can enjoy instead.

Tech marketers, are you afraid?
