Last year I received a new title: bridge builder, because HeadQuarters Magazine builds bridges between readers and suppliers in the Association Congress business, they told. I could live with that.A month ago, I received an email from a lady of the Paris Hilton (the actual hotel, not the heiress in the picture) who has the title of ‘Elevator Management Trainee’. I had never heard of such a thing.
And then, last week during the ESAE Assembly, I was totally flabbergasted when I ran into an association executive who has 'Evangelist' on his business card. And maybe you know anyone by the title of 'meeting lover'?

Hello Marcel
Interesting article, especially about the word "Evangelist".
I have heard the word many times within the IT scene, where "Guru's" call themselves "Evangelist". This term is widely used so it is very common.
The same issue I encounter when I talk to non-meeting professionals about "MICE". How many times did I have to explain what MICE stands for...
I even thought one time to call myself "MICE Evangelist" but then I would be explaining half of my life the meaning of "MICE" and defending different point of view for the word "Evangelist" :)
Keep on writing, and visit my blog at http://meetings-industry.blogsport.com
